For him, the devil is a real and threatening figure, a true and powerful adversary, not an abstract force. The demon is fostered by the European crisis of values, manifested by an increasingly widespread ethical relativism. In his novels and articles Chesterton calls for dissent from evil, referring to tradition, mainly Christian. He calls for heroism and defence of faith, convinced that victory over the devil and evil, or the triumph of good is possible. The fight against the devil becomes the duty of every Christian in our times.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Gilbert Keith Chesterton: good, evil and the devil}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/123132/PDF-MASTER/N%23222-05-Tomkowski.pdf}, doi={10.24425/nauka.2022.140333}, keywords={English literature, Chesterton, good, evil, satanism}, }
