- Abstract
A world-renowned English journalist and writer, Gilbert Keith Chesterton was a leading defender of Christianity and the Catholic faith in the 20th century, remaining today an author of great relevance in Christian thought. Lately it has been the object of study in the field of theology by several authors, thus demonstrating the interest of the author’s writings for this science. This thesis has as its main objective, therefore, to identify the current state of studies of Chesterton’s writings in the field of theology. To do this, the work is divided into three parts, in which, in the first, the historical context and the life of the author in question are considered, already identifying in this part some topics of interest and actuality in theology. In the second and main part, a study is carried out on the theological literature that already exists on the writings of the author. Several interesting lines are identified, such as the existence of a theology of art, the relationship between faith and reason, among other important issues. In the third and last part, a brief analysis of some of his main literary works is made, focusing attention on the what the author says about the presence of the mystery. Thus, considering the thesis as a whole, it is possible to make an overall theological judgment and establish the state of the art of the subject.
