Huxley gathered here the essays he wrote in reply to critics of evolution and of free inquiry. He traces the rise of palaeontology, takes on the interpreters of Genesis and Gladstone’s defence of the creation story, offers an anthropological account of the evolution of theology, and argues that what Jesus really said and did is a question for historians and critics.
Huxley at his most combative, for anyone interested in the Victorian battles over science and faith. Download the free EPUB.
