Description

Excerpt: "Mr. H. G. WELLS brought out some time ago an Outline of History, the object of which was to deny the Christian religion.

I examined this production for the benefit of my co-religionists in the columns of certain Catholic papers.

I did full justice to Mr. Wells's talents as a writer, but I exposed his ill acquaintance with modern work on Biology, with early Christian writing and tradition, with Christian doctrine itself: and, in general, his incompetence.

Stung by this exposure, Mr. Wells has just brought out against me a small pamphlet, under the title of Mr. Belloc Objects to the "Outline of History." It is an excited, popular, crude attack, full of personal insult and brawling, and ample proof that he is hit.

But it is singularly weak in argument, confused in reply, and, as I shall show in a moment, shirks nine-tenths of the very damaging criticism which I directed against his book.

That book denies a creative God. There is no God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth.

The Incarnation is a myth; the Resurrection a falsehood; the Eucharist a mummery."
