All of the books in the Thomas Wingfold series (there are three) are in my opinion some of the best examples of fiction in history. The Curate of Glaston is a classic. I don't know why more scholars/teachers do not recommend this book, except maybe some disagree with the "religious" overtones. This story is all about redemption and transformation and pain. George MacDonald is such a gifted writer and weaves truth into all of this novels. I cannot speak more highly of this volume.
March 18, 2013
England and Western Europe are at the threshold of what is now dubbed "The Gilded Age", which the "Progressive Era" will follow hot on its heels. MacDonald, a contemporary of this time, puts pen to the pendulum swing of Christianity during this time of change.
Bascombe, a student of law, gives voice to the new "liberating" atheistic movement. Bascombe's well-off and comely lady cousin resides in the parish of Glaston, which gives him reason to visit there often. She lives with their elderly aunt, who hopes to keep the girl's inheritance in the family by encouraging her marriage to Bascombe.
There is a young curate of that parish whom Bascombe engages in some intellectual parrying. He suggests to the curate the folly of his religion and asks incredulously if he could possibly believe his own sermons and this preposterous superstition in religion.
As it happens, he catches the curate, Wingfold, off guard. Wingfold must admit to himself that he actually has no faith, has never experienced a manifestation of any kind, and in fact only went into the service of the church through the encouragement of others as a good way for him to make a living. His sermons were composed by his deceased uncle who bequeathed them to him. He is a person of integrity, so resolves to put Bascombe's assertion to the test.
This novel is an account of Wingfold's spiritual journey into Christianity. There is plenty of story here to keep the reader turning the pages, surprising turns of events, interesting characters, amidst the on-going debate which many in the story hold with themselves and others. Hence, this remains primarily an "apologist" work, or perhaps a tool of conversion--just guessing at the author's intent.
Some reading notes follow (there may be spoilers)...
The Curate's Awakening (formerly published as Thomas Wingfold, Curate)
p.13 "The social matrix which up to this time had contributed to her (Helen Lingard's) development had some rapport with society, but scanty association indeed with the universe. So her present condition was like that of the common bees: Nature fits everyone for a queen, but its nurses prevent it from growing into one by providing for it a cell too narrow for the unrolling of royalty, and supplying it with food not potent enough for the nurturing of the ideal. As a result, the cramped and stinted thing which comes out is a working bee. And Helen, who might be both, was, as yet, neither."
p.30 "The spiritual sea in which his (Thomas Wingfold's) being floated had become all at once uncomfortable. A certain intermittent stinging, as if from the flashes of some moral electricity, had begun to pass in various directions through that previously undisturbed mass he called himself, and he felt strangely restless. It never occurred to him--how should it?--that he might have begun undergoing the most marvelous of all possible changes. For a man to see its result ahead of time or understand what he was passing through would be more strange than if a caterpillar should recognize in the rainbow-winged butterfly hovering over the flower at whose leaf he was gnawing, the perfected idea of his own potential self."
p.31 Athanasian creed: "The Athanasian Creed is usually divided into two sections: lines 1–28 addressing the doctrine of the Trinity, and lines 29–44 addressing the doctrine of Christology.[13] Enumerating the three persons of the Trinity (i.e., Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit), the first section of the creed ascribes the divine attributes to each individually. Thus, each person of the Trinity is described as uncreated (increatus), limitless (Immensus), eternal (æternus), and omnipotent (omnipotens).[14] While ascribing the divine attributes and divinity to each person of the Trinity, thus avoiding subordinationism, the first half of the Athanasian Creed also stresses the unity of the three persons in the one Godhead, thus avoiding a theology of tritheism. Furthermore, although one God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are distinct from each other. For the Father is neither made nor begotten; the Son is not made but is begotten from the Father; the Holy Spirit is neither made nor begotten but proceeds from the Father and the Son (filioque)." Wikipedia
p.40: Wingfold: "Then you do think a man should make up his sermons from the books he reads?"
Polwarth: "Yes, if he can do no better. But then I would have him read much--not with his sermon in his thoughts, but with his people in his heart. Most people have so little time for reading or thinking. The office of preaching is meant first of all to wake them up, next to make them hungry, and finally to give them food for that hunger. And the pastor has to take thought for all these things. For if he doesn't feed God's flock, then he is no shepherd."
P.42" Wingfold: "But the Church of England exists to teach Christianity, not to prove there is a God."
Polwarth: "What is Christianity then?"
Wingfold: "God in Christ, and Christ in man."
Polwarth: "What is the use of that if there be no God?"
p.46 "My dear sir, no conviction can be got--or if it could be got, would be of any lasting value--through that dealer in secondhand goods, the intellect. If by it we could prove there is a God, it would be of small avail indeed. We must see him and know him. And I know of no other way of knowing that there is a God but that which reveals what he is--and that way is Jesus Christ as he revealed himself on earth, and as he is revealed afresh to every heart that seeks to know the truth about him."
p.62 abjured: Abjure means to swear off, and it applies to something you once believed. You can abjure a religious faith ...
"And with that word, the forest of heaven vanished. A worse hell suddenly appeared--the cold reality of an earth abjured, and a worthless..."
p.69 Socinian: the heretical tenets of Faustus Socinius, a 16th-century Italian theologian, denying the divinity of Christ, the existence of Satan, original sin, the atonement, and eternal punishment, and explaining sin and salva-tion in rationalistic terms. "A Socinian!" grumbled Mrs. Ramshorn; though rahter proud of her learned description; "trying to deny and rationalize the sacred doctrines!"
p.69 Wesleyan: At its heart, the theology of John Wesley stressed the life of Christian holiness: to love God with all one’s heart, mind, soul and strength and to love one’s neighbour as oneself. See also Ministry of Jesus. Wesley’s teaching also stressed experiential religion and moral responsibility. -- Wikipedia
"There's stuff in the fellow!" admitted the rector's churchwarden, who had been brought up a Wesleyan."
p.70 "But I call everyone here who obeys the word of Jesus--who restrains anger, who avoids judgment, who practices generosity, who does good to his enemies, who prays for his slanderers--to witness my vow, that I will from this day on try to obey him."
p.87 "Ah, you don't know as well as I do the good of having some difficulty in getting what you need! To remove the struggles of the poor can sometimes prove to be a cruel sort of kindness. Although I try to do what I can."
p.97 "How could you...yield your mind to that silly ecclesiastic and allow his false eloquence to untune your nerves? If you must go to church, you ought to remember that the whole thing is but part of a system--part of a false system. That preacher has been brought up in the trade of religion. That is his business and he has to persuade people of the truth--himself first if he can, but his congregation anyhow--of everything contained in that medley of priestly absurdities called the Bible. Think for a moment, how soon, if it were not for their churches and prayers and music, and their tomfoolery of preaching, the whole precious edifice would topple about their ears? So what is left them but to play on the hopes and fears and diseased consciences of men as best they can."
p.148: "Even if there be no hereafter, I would live my time believing in a grand thing that ought to be true if it is not. No facts can take the place of truths: and if these be not truths, then is the loftiest part of our nature a waste?...I would rather die believing as Jesus believed than live foreever believing as those that deny him. If there be no God, then this existence is but a chaos of contradictions from which can emerge nothing worthy to be called a truth, nothing worth living for."
The Lady's Confession (formerly published as Paul Faber, Surgeon)
p.36: "The softened sounds of a singing congregation came across gardens and hedges to his ear. They sang with more energy than grace. Were they indeed singing to the Lord, he asked himself, or only to that usually unseen idol, Custom?"
p. 47: "True authority is born in a heart of submission. And because _____ and ______ were submitted in love to each other, the authority of Christ flowed in and through them both, without so much as a thought given to the words themselves by either of them.
p.54: "Then I grnat you, there could be no poetry. Somebody says poetry is the speech of hope; and certainly if there were no God there could be no hope."
p.60: "I am beginning to think that a minister should be financially independent of his flock."
p.61: "Man's existence is a positive thing; therefore his chief outlook ought to be positive."
p.61: "To Faber it seemed the true and therefore right thing to deny the existence of any such being called God. Yet such a denial might be a better condition for a man to be in than if he says he believes in what he calls a deity, but then does not seek to follow God's will. At the same time, Faber's conclusion that he was not bound to believe in any God seemed to lift a certain weight off the heart of the doctor. He had almost freed himself from the knowledge of having done wrong things and from the consciousness of not being altogether right."
p.84: "If God put faith into your heart without your stirring up your heart to believe, the faith would be God's and not yours."
p.92: "I never find I lose by giving, even in argument."
SIGH, I did not finish this before having to return my inter-library loaned copy. Now, if I were to purchase my own copy I could highlight all these passages, rather than capture them this way. Yep, I need to get my own copy. But next is the question: This particular edition, or the original writing of George MacDonald? Me-thinks the original, even though I must get these in separate copies, rather than in this bind-up form with attractive cover art.
Bascombe, a student of law, gives voice to the new "liberating" atheistic movement. Bascombe's well-off and comely lady cousin resides in the parish of Glaston, which gives him reason to visit there often. She lives with their elderly aunt, who hopes to keep the girl's inheritance in the family by encouraging her marriage to Bascombe.

There is so much depth and richness in each of these stories that a review of each would take "forever" so instead, I'll just do a short take on each.
Thomas Wingate, Curate: My favorite of these books. This one really has excellent characters, depth of spiritual richness, and soooooo many lessons to learn without feeling bogged down by moralizing or preaching. Beautiful. It'll be a frequent reread.
The Lady's Confession: Also a lovely book, but this one sits in third place. There were parts I didn't love as much and those parts bothered me. Still, compared to a lot of what is written today, it's an excellent book.
The Baron's Apprentice: While this type of story is my least favorite of the three, this one is actually a very close second. I really loved our bookbinder and his faithful and true character even as he learns to love the LORD despite being turned off by misrepresentations of Him.

Classic Gearge MacDonald, updated for modern, American readers. Books one and two are perhaps stronger than the third story.
January 8, 2011
Incredibly under-read, George MacDonald was a mentor to CS Lewis. The three stories in this edition portray outstanding Christian characters, unusual twists and incredible spiritual insight. Even though the stories were written long ago the themes in these stories are suprisingly relevant for today.
September 24, 2015
I wish I could recommend this trilogy whole-heartedly, but as much as I loved many aspects of it, I have to caution future readers. The first two books are very good, but some of MacDonald's universalism and other strange doctrines come out in the third (The Baron's Apprenticeship). Read with discernment.
January 25, 2008
I love MacDonald because he helps me think about and question some things in my faith. The first book in this trilogy is about a curate who is awakened out of his passivity to doubt, and then his true faith.
There is some good food for thought in this book, along with a great story.

This is a trilogy written by a theologian/storyteller with a deep understanding of God's love and grace. His characters are well developed and they present humanity as it is-lost without a relationship with the living God.
June 5, 2009
So far I like this book best of all his books. It deals with whether or not there is a God and if Jesus was real. It also has a character who is an atheist and a Darwinist, which I really found surprising because I thought he came after George Macdonald. In any case, this is a great book!!
August 8, 2008
I like George McDonalds books - they are a little more difficult for me to read and so stretch my mind. :)
September 2, 2008
I have read two of the three novels in this book. They are excellent but slow reading as there is so much to think about in each book. They contain very deep spiritual thoughts.
December 5, 2009
This is a volume of 3 of Macdonald's books. I am currently reading the last one. They are super good.
October 20, 2008
I have read the first book in this series (The Curate's Awakening). It was very good. The characters were engaging, the situations true to faithful experience. It was a fun read.

December 13, 2017
The first of these three novels was my favourite, mostly because of the spiritual awakening of the characters
set-aside
April 28, 2020I read and enjoyed the first book in this series, The Curate's Awakening, especially because its storyline isn't the typical "he lost his faith/belief in God because something bad happened to him" scenario.
Even so, it seems one book of theological/evangelistic sermons wrapped in a layer of story with dramatic but poorly developed romance is enough for me.
While I appreciate the author's intent to preach the Gospel, heaps of overt preaching by way of fiction generally doesn't make for compelling novels to me. I could read nonfiction for that.
I do plan to try at least one more adult novel by this author, and I'll likely read more of his fantasy fiction, as I remember enjoying At the Back of the North Wind years ago and was especially touched by the ending.

Great book. First book chronicles a curate's search for his own faith. Second book is a romance combined with a scientific mind encountering God. Last one of the trilogy (this book was originally published as a trilogy) seemed a little Dickens-like in the plot, in a good way, with lost parentage, British titles at stake, etc...
May 15, 2022
3 books in 1- took me about four weeks to finish. I highly recommend this book. :)

Some fascinating parts but on the whole lots of talks between various characters just to make a theological point. Felt a bit contrived, despite the compelling writing
I believe that true and genuine service may be given to the living God. And for the development of the divine nature in man, it is necessary that he should do something for God.
Your challenge is to do the best for your neighbor that you’re reasonably can
All about us in earth and air, where eye or ear can reach, there is a power ever breathing itself forth in signs. Now it shows itself in a daisy, now in a waft of wind, a cloud, a sunset, and this power holds constant relation with the dark and silent world within us, the same God who is in us, and upon whose tree we are the buds, also is all about us-inside, the spirit: outside, the Word. And the two are ever trying to meet in us; and when they meet, then the sign without and the longing within become one. The man no more walks in darkness, but in light, knowing where he is going.
Only the man who rises above the mighty influence of his own pride, who sets the self of his own consciousness behind his back and sets his eyes only on the father is a free and noble being; only he breathes the air of the infinite.
For certainly, until we see God as he is, and are changed into his likeness, all our beliefs must partake more or less of superstition. But if there be a God, the greatest superstition of all will be found to have consisted in denying him.

This and all other G.Mac books are great stories of the gospel lived out in peoples' lives. My favorite author.
