The New Jerusalem

The New Jerusalem is a history book written by G. K. Chesterton which deals with the world of the Middle East, and serves as a eulogy on the Middle Ages and the true end of the Roman Empire. Revolving around the central idea of Jerusalem and Zionism, the book gives the basic idea of the Middle East history, offering some insights to its future. Chesterton recognizes the profound differences in approaching the world among groups like Arabs, Jewish people and Western people, and offers some interesting and poetical insights of the Middle East.

G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) was an English writer, poet, philosopher, dramatist, journalist, orator, lay theologian, biographer, and literary and art critic. Chesterton is well known for his fictional priest-detective Father Brown, and for his reasoned apologetics. Even some of those who disagree with him have recognized the wide appeal of such works as Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man. Chesterton is often referred to as the 'prince of paradox'.
