Having been dispensed with by Enlightenment philosophes around the time the first novels were emerging, he must have seemed irrelevant. As a God Might Be by Neil Griffiths review – midlife crisis or the voice of God? Over the next century, if clergy appeared at all, they were mostly embodiments of the death of God. In my new novel As a God Might Be, Proctor McCullough fears the possibility of an authentic encounter with God; not a feeling or vision, but a genuine meeting. Moving, intense, and often funny, the novel’s great achievement is taking us inside the medieval world of faith, where God and holiness pervades all things.
