G. K. Chesterton y Bernard Shaw fueron grandes amigos pero se pasaron buena parte de sus vidas discutiendo y polemizando sobre casi todo. Para Chesterton, la filosofía y la política de Shaw, así como su teatro, eran un perfecto ejemplo de las ideas dominantes en su tiempo, el emergente siglo XX, con las que estaba en franco desacuerdo.

En el notable epílogo que acompaña al volumen, el autor y crítico dublinés expresó: En esta confusión me permito sugerir que impidamos a la Biblia encumbrarse y asimismo no emprendamos la imposible tarea de suprimirla. ¿Por qué no simplemente aterrizar y tomarla como lo que es?
