D-days at Dayton : reflections on the Scopes trial
Jerry R. Tompkins (Editor)
Forty years ago in Dayton, Tennessee, the forces of science and theology met head-on in a trial that captured the attention of the nation as have few others before or since. In the end theology won, and not even Clarence Darrow could save John T. Scopes from conviction for the teaching of evolution. After the trial Dayton drifted back into quiet normalcy, and the nation, the weight of doubt apparently lifted, turned away and went about its business. This book is written by those who either participated in the trial or who are deeply involved in the issues that were at stake
