520			_a"Paul Faber, Surgeon" by George MacDonald is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Paul Faber, a surgeon in the quaint town of Glaston, and his complex relationships with the local clergyman, Mr. Bevis, and the curate, Wingfold. The narrative navigates themes of belief, skepticism, and the intersection of spirituality and human experience. The opening of the book introduces us to Mr. Bevis, a genial rector driving to church with his wife and an elderly woman he kindly gives a ride. As they traverse the countryside, they encounter Paul Faber, whose expertise in surgery is juxtaposed with his skepticism regarding religion. A playful yet profound banter ensues between Bevis and Faber, highlighting Faber's disbelief in God as they discuss a new patient, a mysterious woman named Miss Meredith. The dialogue sets the groundwork for exploring Faber's character as both a compassionate healer and a self-proclaimed atheist, while establishing the tension between science and faith that recurs throughout the novel.
