The editor of the Freethinker, once imprisoned for blasphemy, gathers short articles on ‘luscious piety’, the Jewish Sabbath, immortality, Bradlaugh’s ghost, Christ and brotherhood, and much else. Each piece takes a sermon, a news item or a scriptural text and turns it inside out with sarcasm and argument.
Pungent secularist journalism that shows the fierce religious debates of the 1890s. Download the free EPUB.
