In this profound exploration of the spiritual landscape of the mid-20th century, Yvonne Lubbock chronicles the arduous, intellectual, and emotional journey from the vacuum of modern skepticism back to a deeply rooted personal faith. Return to Belief serves as both a philosophical treatise and a deeply intimate account, stripping away the cynicism of the post-war era to re-examine the fundamental questions of human existence, purpose, and the divine. Lubbock’s prose is characteristic of the rigorous yet accessible theological inquiries favored by Collins in the early 1960s, a period marked by a renewed intellectual appetite for existential clarity. The work navigates through the complexities of various religious traditions, offering the reader not merely a dogmatic defense of Christianity, but a compelling, well-reasoned argument for the necessity of belief in a secularized world. It remains a significant artifact for those interested in the evolution of religious thought and the enduring struggle to reconcile modern intellectualism with the ancient search for meaning.
