Synopsis

Explore a new frame for faith and society: a vision of God as the Invisible King guiding freedom, speech, and human progress.

This work surveys a renascent approach to religion that is free from organized churches and open to all people. It argues that belief can grow from within, shaping politics, science, education, and art while preserving individual conscience and honest discussion.

• Discover how religion could operate openly in government, education, and culture without seizing control over belief.
• See the idea of God reframed as a living, dynamic influence that empowers courage, self‑restraint, and moral action.
• Learn how modern religion might evolve by integrating science, philosophy, and global perspectives.
• Explore metaphors of crystallisation and light to understand the emergence of a universal spiritual understanding.

Ideal for readers of philosophy, religion, and modern social thought who want a provocative, nontraditional view of faith and freedom.

About this title

About the Author

Herbert George Wells (21 September 1866 – 13 August 1946), known primarily as H. G. Wells, was a prolific English writer in many genres, including the novel, history, politics, and social commentary, and textbooks and rules for war games. He is now best remembered for his science fiction novels, and Wells is called the father of science fiction, along with Jules Verne and Hugo Gernsback. His most notable science fiction works include The Time Machine(1895), The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896), The Invisible Man (1897), and The War of the Worlds (1898). Wells' earliest specialized training was in biology, and his thinking on ethical matters took place in a specifically and fundamentally Darwinian context. He was also from an early date an outspoken socialist, often (but not always, as at the beginning of the First World War) sympathising with pacifist views. His later works became increasingly political and didactic, and he wrote little science fiction, while he sometimes indicated on official documents that his profession was that of journalist. Novels like Kipps and The History of Mr Polly, which describe lower-middle-class life, led to the suggestion, when they were published, that he was a worthy successor to Charles Dickens, but Wells described a range of social strata and even attempted, in Tono-Bungay (1909), a diagnosis of English society as a whole.
