The Ball and the Cross
G. K. Chesterton

The Ball and the Cross is G. K. Chesterton's third novel. Evan
MacIan is a tall, dark-haired, blue-eyed Scottish Highlander
and a devout Roman Catholic... James Turnbull is a short, red-
haired, gray-eyed Scottish Lowlander and a devout but naive
atheist... The two meet when MacIan smashes the window of the
street office where Turnbull publishes an atheist journal.
When MactIan challenges Turnbull to a duel to the death,
Turnbull is overjoyed. For twenty years no one had paid the
slightest attention to his Bible bashing. Now at last someone
is taking him seriously! Most of the rest of the story is a
series of comic events in which the two enemies wander about
seeking a spot for their duel.
