God's Funeral
Synopsis
This book examines the decline of religious belief among prominent writers, artists, and intellectuals by the late nineteenth century. A.N. Wilson argues that the foundations of religious doubt were laid even before Darwin's influential work. The book explores how, despite the erosion of faith, the church persisted because many individuals struggled to confront the full implications of their changing beliefs, leading to a profound spiritual unease that resonates today.
