About this book
Confessions of an Inquiring Spirit and Some Miscellaneous Pieces by Samuel Taylor Coleridge draws listeners into the restless, searching mind of one of Romanticism’s greatest thinkers as he wrestles with faith, scripture, and conscience. This collection gathers Coleridge’s probing Confessions of an Inquiring Spirit alongside Letters on the Inspiration of the Scriptures, An Essay on Faith, Notes on the Book of Common Prayer, A Nightly Prayer, A Sailor’s Fortune, and other essays that blend theology, philosophy, and poetic sensibility.
Written against the backdrop of the late 18th and early 19th centuries—when the French Revolution, intellectual ferment at Cambridge, and shifting religious assumptions challenged old certainties—these pieces map a thoughtful journey through doubt, revelation, and moral imagination. Coleridge examines inspiration, the nature of faith, and the role of reason and imagination in understanding scripture, offering elegant argumentation, pastoral reflections, and literary grace without sacrificing intellectual rigor.
Ideal for listeners interested in religion, theology, Romantic literature, or historical intellectual history, this audiobook offers a measured, eloquent exploration of spiritual inquiry. Pick it up to hear a masterful voice balancing skepticism and devotion, perfect for reflective commutes, study, or quiet contemplation.
