“Oxymoronic” ?

Not a bit of it. Chesterton was a better theologian than he was a theologian.

That’s direct consequence of being a better Christian than (sometimes) he was a theologian.

As Dr. Samuel Johnson wrote, “The reason that Scottish preachers are so celebrated is that they have the hardest job of all: reconciling the Gospel with the teachings of John Calvin.”

Trying to rent Chesterton for Calvinism is one of those recreational impossibilities, on the same level as learning to fly by flapping your arms. Good luck with that.
