God the Invisible King [EPUB ebook] 

Support

God the Invisible King is a theological work by H.G. Wells, published in 1917, in which the acclaimed author presents his personal beliefs on religion, distinct from traditional Christianity. Wells sets out to clearly articulate his own religious convictions, emphasizing that his views diverge significantly from Christian doctrine, particularly rejecting the concept of the Trinity, which he criticizes as a rigid outcome of the Council of Nicaea.

In this thought-provoking tract, Wells advocates for a ‚modern‘ or ‚renascent‘ religion-one without divine revelation or a single founder. He distances himself from conventional ideas of God as Nature or Creator, instead focusing on a ‚finite‘ God, one connected to the human heart. Wells challenges common misconceptions about God, arguing that the deity he believes in is unrelated to concepts of magic, providence, or moralistic punishments. Rather, he envisions God as embodying courage, personhood, youth (symbolizing a forward-looking spirit), and love.

Wells also explores parallels between religious belief and certain ideas in materialistic science, suggesting that scientific atheists like Metchnikoff share fundamental religious propositions, such as the idea that true salvation lies in transcending the self to merge with a greater life force. God the Invisible King is a compelling exploration of spirituality and a call for a new, rational approach to understanding the divine.
