Synopsis

Questioning a modern deity: a sharp, accessible take on religion, doubt, and the power of ideas.
This critical study examines the figure of an “Invisible King,” weighing whether a personal God can be a meaningful, practical concept. It invites readers to compare belief, science, and everyday life with clear, brisk argument and pointed humor.

In these pages, the author analyzes Wells’s approach, tests the logic of calling a mind-made deity a real entity, and traces how religion has shaped knowledge, politics, and culture. The discussion stays focused on ideas and their consequences, avoiding stereotypes while exploring what faith can, or cannot, offer modern readers.


  • Clear, reasoned questions about the existence and activity of a personal God

  • Arguments about miracles, Providence, and the value of religious concepts

  • Critiques of how belief has influenced science, society, and education

  • Thoughtful comparisons between metaphorical faith and literal worship



Ideal for readers curious about philosophy of religion, literary critique, and how ideas shape our world.
