The Emancipation of a Freethinker is a memoir written by Herbert Ellsworth Cory, an American journalist, and author who was known for his radical views on politics and religion. The book chronicles Cory's journey from being a devout Christian to becoming a freethinker and a skeptic of organized religion.Cory's story begins with his upbringing in a strict Christian household, where he was taught to believe in the Bible as the ultimate truth. However, as he grew older, he began to question the contradictions and inconsistencies in the Bible and the teachings of the church. This led him to explore other religions and philosophies, including Buddhism and atheism.Throughout the book, Cory recounts his experiences with various religious and political leaders, including Billy Sunday, the famous evangelist, and Eugene V. Debs, the socialist leader. He also discusses his involvement in political movements such as the Free Speech Movement and his opposition to the Vietnam War.Overall, The Emancipation of a Freethinker is a thought-provoking and insightful memoir that explores the complexities of faith, politics, and personal beliefs. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of American religion and politics and the evolution of freethought in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
