Creationism in Twentieth-Century America

Creationism in Twentieth-Century America

Despite the undeniable importance of anti-evolutionism in American cultural history and the plethora of publications since the 1980s few libraries have collected more than the occasional book or pamphlet on creationism and early creationist periodicals are almost impossible to find. This collection makes available works on creationism by such stalwarts as Arthur I. Brown William Bell Riley Harry Rimmer Byron C. Nelson George McCready Price Harold W. Clark and Frank Lewis Marsh. It also reprints three of the earliest and rarest creationist journals in America: the Creationist the Bulletin of Deluge Geology and the Forum for the Correlation of Science and the Bible. The collection as a whole plays an important part in the continuing debate in America over science and religion. There is a new preface to all volumes by the series editor Ronald L. Numbers. | Creationism in Twentieth-Century America
