Father and Son | Edmund Gosse’s Memoir of Faith, Doubt & the Search for Truth

539 min • 4 augusti 2025
Father and Son by Edmund Gosse is a deeply personal memoir chronicling the spiritual and emotional tension between a devout Protestant father and his intellectually curious son. Set in the strict evangelical climate of Victorian England, this narrative captures a pivotal cultural moment when faith met modernity—and the struggle that followed. From a Catholic perspective, this work offers a poignant meditation on the need for both faith and reason, authority and interior freedom.

While Gosse's journey moves away from the rigid faith of his upbringing, the memoir invites a deeper conversation about true piety, the nature of conversion, and the grace that can still reach hearts caught in conflict. For Catholic listeners, Father and Son is both cautionary and redemptive: a portrait of filial love, fractured belief, and the perennial search for the fullness of truth—found ultimately in the unity of faith and reason as preserved by the Catholic Church.
