Summary "The Coming" by J. C. Snaith is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a rural English parish during World War I, focusing on the internal struggles of Reverend Thomas Perry-Hennington, a vicar grappling with doubt and the demands of his faith amidst the tumult of war. As he prepares for his sermon, he reflects on the impact of the conflict on his family and community, particularly related to his sons serving in the military. The beginning of the novel introduces us to Mr. Perry-Hennington, who is battling both personal and external conflicts as he struggles to write his sermon. The opening scenes reveal his thoughts on the war, his sons fighting abroad, and his increasing dissatisfaction with his role as a parish priest. We also meet his daughter, Edith, who brings troubling news about a local man, John Smith, whose provocative behavior has sparked outrage. The vicar's frustration with Smith's beliefs alongside a developing tension in the village sets the stage for a deeper exploration of faith, morality, and societal change during a time of unrest.
