| Summary | "Mr. Belloc still objects to Mr. Wells's 'Outline of history'" by Hilaire Belloc is a critical response written in the early 20th century, specifically in 1927. This book serves as a pamphlet that engages in a debate regarding the historical accuracy and philosophical implications of H.G. Wells’s previous work, "Outline of History," which Belloc perceives as an attack on Christian belief. The likely topic centers on the clash between secular historical perspectives and traditional Christian doctrines, particularly addressing how history is interpreted in light of religious truth. In this pamphlet, Belloc systematically critiques Wells's arguments, highlighting perceived errors and misunderstandings about Catholic doctrine and modern scientific theories such as Darwinian evolution. He emphasizes that Wells's approach lacks depth and clarity, arguing that it misrepresents the Catholic Church and oversimplifies complex theological concepts. Throughout his rebuttal, Belloc addresses specific grievances made by Wells, ranging from accusations of bias to misinterpretations of historical facts, and attempts to defend the validity of Christian faith in the face of scientific naturalism. Ultimately, Belloc positions himself as a champion of Catholic orthodoxy, striving to demonstrate that Wells’s criticisms are grounded in ignorance and insufficient knowledge rather than substantive critique.
