"The Soul of a Bishop" by H. G. Wells is a novel published in 1917. It follows Edward Scrope, Lord Bishop of Princhester, as he confronts a devastating spiritual crisis during World War I. Plagued by doctrinal doubts, insomnia, and a sense that his Anglican faith has become irrelevant, the bishop experiences mystical visions after taking a mysterious drug. These revelations force him to question everything he believes and consider leaving the Church entirely, even as his family remains unaware of his inner turmoil.
