Intellectually there is hardly anything more than a certain will to believe, to divide the religious man who know God to be utterly real, from the man who says that God is merely formula to satisfy moral and spiritual phenomena. ¬ -from The Religion of Atheists He is known, along with Jules Verne, as one of the 19th-century fathers of logical, rational science fiction, but in this 1917 book, H. G. Wells explores a more chimerical concept: that of a deity. A bestseller in its day, here Wells lays out his personal and intimate belief in God, an expression of modern religion that, by necessity, attacks doctrinal Christianity by professing a belief in a finite God, as opposed to an infinite force, worshipped by militant believers, not placid ones. An unusual view of God from a name not usually associated with faith, this is an intriguing and little-read work from a writer it seems we have not known much of at all. British author HERBERT GEORGE WELLS (1866-1946) is best known for his groundbreaking science fiction novels The Time Machine (1895), The Invisible Man (1897), and The War of the Worlds (1898).

eBooks, eBook Download (EPUB), According to Wikipedia &quote;Wells wrote in his book God The Invisible King that his idea of God did not draw upon the traditional religions of the world: &quote;This book sets out as forcibly and exactly as possible the religious belief of the writer. [Which] is a profound belief in a personal and intimate God.&quote; Later in the work he aligns himself with a &quote;renascent or modern religion ... neither atheist nor Buddhist nor Mohammedan nor Christian ... [that] he has found growing up in himself&quote;. Of Christianity he has this to say: &quote;... it is not now true for me ... Every believing Christian is, I am sure, my spiritual brother ... but if systemically I called myself a Christian I feel that to most men I should imply too much and so tell a lie.&quote; Of other world religions he writes: &quote;All these religions are true for me as Canterbury Cathedral is a true thing and as a Swiss chalet is a true thing. There they are, and they have served a purpose, they have worked. Only they are not true for me to live in them ... They do not work for me&quote;.&quote; [PU: Seltzer Books], Seiten: 888, Seltzer Books, 2018<

God the Invisible King is a theological tract published by H. G. Wells in 1917. Wells describes his aim as to state as forcibly and exactly as possible the religious belief of the writer. He distinguishes his religious beliefs from Christianity, and warns readers that he is particularly uncompromising on the doctrine of the Trinity, which he blames on the violent ultimate crystallization of Nicaea. He pleads for a modern religion or renascent religion that has no revelation and no founder. Digital Content>E-books>Religion,Inspiration>Religion>Comparative REL, B&R Samizdat Express Digital >16<
