About this title

Review

I have used this book for years (it never fails to engage the students.)

Excellent for collateral reading in my history and philosophy of education class. (D. Gough, Washington Bible College)

An intriguing book well suited to stimulating discussion in an upper-level course. It addresses issues rented to the social and intellectual history of 20th century American. (Daniel B. Murphy, Hanover College)

Very valuable in helping students understand the Scopes Trial and modern Creationists. (Lois N. Magner, Purdue University)

Very good for supplemental reading in a survey course on religion in America. Lively and stimulating. The book provokes students to get involved. (W. Calvin Smith, University of South Carolina at Aiken)

In his brilliant account of the Tennessee 'monkey trial' of 1925, Mr. Ginger gives us a book where history not only records the events of a time but illuminates their significance for all time. (The New Republic)

This volume provides a clear, informative and interesting chronicle of the 1925 Scopes trial. It relates the trial to the Zeitgeist of the era. (William Simons, SUNY-Oneonta)
