Abstract
All Aboard for Ararat belongs to a category in Wells’s writings which might be termed ‘theological speculation’. This category includes such short stories as ‘A Vision of Judgment’, ‘Answer to Prayer’ and ‘The Last Trump’, the novels The Soul of a Bishop and The Undying Fire, and the conversations with Jesus of Nazareth in The Happy Turning. Wells regarded theology as ‘an arena for clean fun that should do no harm to any properly constituted person’,39 and in All Aboard for Ararat he returned to the genre with a fantasia on the story of Noah and the Ark. It is one of his gentlest and wisest allegories, and is at the same time a profound restatement of his theory of world revolution.
