Produced by Donald Lainson; David Widger
"God, the Invisible King" by H. G. Wells is a religious treatise written in the early 20th century. The book explores modern religious beliefs and critiques traditional Christianity, emphasizing the idea of a personal and approachable God rather than one bound by complex theological dogmas like the Trinity. Wells aims to liberate religious thought from established beliefs that he sees as obstructions to genuine spiritual experience. The opening of the book presents the author's philosophical stance on religion, signaling his intention to differentiate modern faith from orthodox Christian views. In the preface, Wells expresses a firm belief in a singular, intimate God, while rejecting mainstream Christian doctrines that he considers detrimental to spiritual life. He categorically warns readers that his views may be shocking to those deeply rooted in traditional beliefs. He sets the stage for discussing the modern conception of God, contrasting the God of nature — perceived as a distant Creator — with a more approachable God associated with redemption, who exists within human experience and emotions. The text establishes a redefined understanding of God that resonates with the human heart and experience, moving away from abstract and distant theological constructs.
