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

"God and Mr. Wells: A Critical Examination of 'God the Invisible King'" by William Archer is an analysis of H.G. Wells' ideas about God in his theological writing. Written in the 1900s, the book examines Wells' idea of God and asks big questions about what it means to be divine, how people experience religion, and how these beliefs affect the world. Archer looks closely at Wells' "Invisible King" idea, measuring it against both old religious beliefs and modern doubts. Archer starts by saying he was excited to see what Wells had to say about God but was let down by his conclusions. Archer sees that Wells tried to link modern thinking with spirituality but thinks Wells didn't give good explanations about God and why we're here. He criticizes Wells for avoiding deep questions about the universe and instead offering a view of God that doesn't explain the big mysteries of life. This start sets up Archer's exploration as he critically looks into the nature of belief and what it means for humanity.
