God's Funeral: The Decline of Faith in Western Civilization

During the course of the 19th century, the idea of God became unknowable and then scientifically impossible. And yet, as award-winning novelist and biographer A.N. Wilson asserts in this dazzling synthesis of biography and intellectual history, "the God-Question does not go away".Drawing on his wide-ranging knowledge of Western culture and engaging sense of biography, Wilson has written a profoundly important book about the emergence of a new imaginative order.
