Paul Faber Surgeon
About this book
Second in the Wingfold Trilogy following
Thomas Wingfold Curate from one of the greatest writers of Victorian-era Scotland.
A country doctor in the fictional city of Glaston, atheist Paul Faber, encountering spiritually invigorated minister Wingfold, finds himself unexpectedly drawn into his own unwelcome quest for truth. Now it is Wingfoldāassisted by Polwarthāsharing his newfound faith with both Paul Faber and Juliet Meredith, whose past secrets draw them together yet also threaten to tear them apart. Michael Phillips comments, "Of MacDonald's unique characters, one stands aloneāPaul Faber, the surgeon of fictional Glaston. He is the only skeptic, unbeliever, and atheist to take the spotlight as a featured title character. The relationship between Thomas Wingfold, the curate, and his atheist friend . . . gives us a vivid picture of George MacDonald's perspective on how the life of Christ is most effectively communicated into an unbelieving world . . . It is conveyed by the way Christians
live."
