Журнал Time observed of his writing style: "Whenever possible Честертон made his points with popular sayings, proverbs, allegories-first carefully turning them inside out". Честертон created the fictional priest-детектив Father Brown, and wrote on apologetics. Even some of those who disagree with him have recognised the wide appeal of such works as Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man. Честертон routinely referred to himself as an "православный" христианин, and came to identify this position more and more with Catholicism, eventually converting to Catholicism from высокой церкви англиканства. George Bernard Shaw, The "friendly enemy", said of him, "He was a colossal man of genius". Biographers have identified him as a successor to поиска Victorian authors as Matthew Arnold, Томас Карлейль, кардинал Джон Генри Ньюман, and John Ruskin.
