Product Description
Product Description
Challenging the Bible contains masterful insights about the Bible from one of the world's greatest freethinkers and orators of all time--Robert G. Ingersoll. Editor and religious expert Dean Tipton has selected some of the best material from thousands and thousands of pages of Ingersoll's writings and recorded speeches that challenge the Bible and its followers. Challenging the Bible explores a wide variety of Bible-related topics and raises important questions that everyone should think about. The result is one penetrating book that best presents the various perspectives and objections against a religious text that has unquestionably been the most dominant influence in human history. Truly a must read for anyone ranging from conservative religious believers to liberal freethinkers, Challenging the Bible combines the insight and passion of Robert G. Ingersoll with the astute selection of Dean Tipton to create a truly special work in the genre of religious literature.

Robert G. Ingersoll was one of America's finest free-thinkers and his work on religion and much else was truly prolific.
Following on in the tradition of Thomas Paine, this wonderfully insightful critic of organised religion has left a vast canon of work. His essays and delivered speeches are voluminous.
This 'selection' compiled and edited by Dean Tipton should serve as a wonderful introduction to Ingersoll.
He was the Dawkins/Hitchens/Harris/Dennet/Stenger of his day.
This really is a great book to own - treat yourself (or someone that you really like)!

Challenging the Bible
7 Feb 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you haven't read Robert G. Ingersoll and you are a freethinker then you need to get some of his books. He was a man way ahead of his time and so easy to read he was an excellent speaker and it shows in his essays.

Quick read... some excellent points

Honestly, I can't imagine how any religious person could read this book and walk away still being a believer. And keep in mind that Ingersoll was presenting his views in the late 1800s. My only criticism is that I wish it was a little longer and Tipton could have done a better job at catching some of the typos before the book went to press. Give it a read and see for yourself. I also recommend "What's God Got To Do With It?" by Ingersoll.

Challenging the Bible:: Selections from the Writings And Speeches of Robert G. Ingersoll
25 May 2008
Format:Paperback
Ingersoll thinking were clearer than crystal. A courageous man. He shows us how much rubbish remains alive for such a long time. A book I recommend to be read.
