God and Mr. Wells: A Critical Examination of 'God the Invisible King'

By William Archer

This book is a response to a theological tract written by H. G. Wells entitled 'God the Invisible King'. In it, Wells rejects any belief related to God as Nature or the Creator, confining himself to the "finite" God "of the human heart." He devotes a chapter to misconceptions about God that are due to mistaken "mental elaboration" as opposed to "heresies of speculation," and says that the God in which he believes has nothing to do with magic, providence, quietism, punishment, the threatening of children, or sexual ethics. The author of this work has a opinion that opposes one that is held by H. G. Wells, which he lays out in length in this book.
