[Running On Empty]

Refresh my memory, please. (I love Chesterton)

The story's in The Everlasting Man. Briefly, at the mention of Grant Allen's book, The Evolution of the Idea of God, Chesterton defends his notion that it would be more interesting if God were to write a book on the evolution of the idea of Grant Allen -- a notion perfect in orthodoxy he opines, since (from memory here) "it confesses the Divine purpose even in its darkest and most mysterious manifestations."
