This volume offers a fascinating insight into a fierce debate that took place in London in 1881, between prominent secularist Charles Bradlaugh and the Reverend Dr. McCann. The verbatim report of the debate provides a detailed and lively account of the arguments put forward by both sides, and sheds light on the broader societal tensions between religious and secular worldviews in Victorian England. Bradlaugh's compelling arguments against religious dogma and in favor of rationalism are still relevant today, making this book a must-read for anyone interested in the history of ideas.
