| Summary: | This well-written and gently provocative book discusses eight men who left the Christian religion for various forms of freethinking, and then returned to Christianity later in their lives. It thereby offers a challenge to the dominant narrative of nineteenth-century intellectual history which describes the crisis of faith and the road to unbelief as the prevailing norm, at least among intelligent people, typified by such giants as Matthew Arnold. Chapter 1 analyses the current state of play on ‘crisis of faith’ scholarship with a degree of wit unusual in academic writing. |
