Chesterton's Appreciation for Calvinism

Chesterton admired Calvinism and saw it as a matter of liberation from scruples, not getting tangled up in them. He believed that the early Protestants and Puritans embraced Calvinism in a joyful and Chestertonian way, in contrast to the later naval-gazing and introspection. Chesterton's book, 'Chester Tony and Calvinism,' explores Chesterton's love for the brilliance and occasional howlers of G.K. Chesterton and his antipathy towards Calvinism. The book highlights the need to understand and appreciate the early Protestants' joyful approach to Calvinism.
