The Bible Defeats Atheism is a book that tells the story of the famous Harry Rimmer trial, as narrated by the attorney for the defendant, James E. Bennet. The book is a detailed account of the trial that took place in the early 20th century, where Harry Rimmer, a Christian evangelist, was accused of lying about his academic credentials. The trial was a landmark case, as it was one of the first times that the Bible was used as evidence in a courtroom. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the trial, including the legal arguments made by both sides, the testimony of witnesses, and the verdict. It also delves into the background of Harry Rimmer, his life and work as an evangelist, and the controversy surrounding his academic credentials. The author, James E. Bennet, was the attorney for the defendant in the trial and provides a unique perspective on the proceedings. He also explores the larger implications of the trial, including its impact on the debate between atheism and Christianity. Overall, The Bible Defeats Atheism is a fascinating account of a historic trial that shaped the discourse around religion and atheism in the United States. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of law, religion, and philosophy.Contents: The Bible On Trial, The Second Day, Attempting To Dispose Of The Scriptures, The Trial's Close.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
