Keeping the Faith
God, Democracy, and the Trial That Riveted a Nation
Book • 2024
In 'Keeping the Faith', Brenda Wineapple delves into the early years of the twentieth century to illuminate the pivotal 1925 Scopes trial.
This trial, which captivated the nation, exposed profound divisions in America over issues such as the meaning of freedom, religion, education, censorship, and civil liberties.
The book focuses on the legal showdown between Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan, and it explores how these conflicts continue to resonate in contemporary America.
Wineapple also examines the broader historical context, including racism, intolerance, and the rise of fundamentalism, and how these factors intersected with the debate over evolution and its teaching in public schools.
