This project seeks to reframe the conventional arguments surrounding the trial, treating it instead as a significant religious event, one which not only altered the course of Christian Fundamentalism and the Creationist movement, but also perpetuated Southern religious stereotypes through the intense, and largely negative, nationwide publicity it attracted. Prosecutor William Jennings Bryan's crucial role is also redefined, with his denial of a strictly literal interpretation of Genesis during the trial serving as the impetus for the shift toward ultra- conservatism and young-earth Creationism within the movement after 1925.

  • Book Reviews
    Book Reviews theories about language and the power of scripture as the Word of God in a modern context, liberal evangelicals’ commitment to social reform as an expression of piety and an outgrowth of Christian conversion, the liberal evangelical curriculum at the Union School of Religion and its struggle ðand ultimate failureÞ to maintain a distinct evangelical identity, the emergence of a prophetic and confrontational fundamentalist style in New York City as exemplified by the ministry and public preaching of John Roach Straton, and a concluding chapter on Harry Emerson Fosdick’s doomed efforts to maintain a robust form of liberal evangelicalism at Riverside Church. It is hard not to read this book as a declension narrative, despite Bowman’s assertion that liberal evangelicals did not capitulate to modernity or did not see themselves as “selling out” to a secular culture. Almost all of the figures he looks at or the liberal attempts to combine a prophetic commitment to social reform, a priestly emphasis on pastoral work, and personal spiritual conversion and growth end in disappointment or failure or a loss of a distinctive evangelical identity, which they had sought so assiduously to retain. So rather than demonstrating that evan- gelicalism is robust when it imagines itself diverse, Bowman’s work instead demon- strates the difficulty liberals encountered who wanted to maintain an evangelical identity and how hard it was to occupy a treacherous middle ground. That seems to be the fate of liberal evangelicalism narrated in this very important if not quite per- suasive book. CURTIS EVANS, University of Chicago.

Below is an excerpt from a letter written by a parent. Dear Editor: When the bill against the teaching of evolution in public schools was passed, I could not see why more mothers were not thanking the lawmakers. They were protecting our children from one of the destructive forces which will destroy our civilization. I for one was grateful that they stood up for the right. And grateful, too, that we have a Christian man for governor who will defend the Word of God against this so-called science. The Bible tells us that the gates of Hell shall not win against the church. We know there will always be standard-bearers for the cross of Christ. But in these times of materialism I thank God deep down in my heart for everyone whose voice is raised for humanity and the coming of God’s kingdom.

  • Central Historical Question: Why Was the Scopes Monkey Trial Significant?
    Central Historical Question: Why was the Scopes Monkey Trial significant? Activity 1 – Analysis of a 1925 Biology textbook Directions: Read the introduction and the textbook excerpt and answer the questions below. Introduction: In 1925, Tennessee passed the following law, called the Butler Act: It shall be unlawful for any teacher . to teach any theory that denies the story of the Divine Creation of man as taught in the Bible, and to teach instead that man has descended from a lower order of animals. The Butler Act made it illegal to teach from textbooks like the one below. Textbook – A Civic Biology, 1925 The Doctrine of Evolution. We have now learned that animals may begin with very simple one-celled forms and end with a group which contains man himself. The great English scientist Charles Darwin explained the theory of evolution. This is the belief that simple forms of life on the earth slowly gave rise to more complex forms. Man’s Place in Nature. We see that man must be placed with the vertebrate animals because of his vertebral column. We place man with the apelike mammals because of structural likeness. The group of mammals which includes the monkeys, apes, and man we call the primates. Evolution of Man. There once lived races of men who were much lower in their mental organization than present people. If we follow the early history of man, we find that at first he must have been little better than one of the lower animals. Gradually he must have learned to use weapons and kill his prey, first using rough stones for this purpose.

  • Attempts to Pass a Second Anti-Evolution Law in Oklahoma
    188 PROC. OF THE OKLA. ACAD. OF SCI. FOR 1960 SECTION D, SOCIAL SCIENCES Attempts to Pass CI Second Anti-Evolution Law in Oklahoma R. BALLmURTON, JR., Cameron State CoUel'e, Lawton Oklahoma witnessed a pungent anti-evolution controversy during the decade of the 1920s. This fact has been largely overlooked or ignored by scholars. Yet, Oklahoma In many ways established the precedent that her lister states were to follow. She was the first state to enact "anti­ Darwin" legislation (more than two years prior to the celebrated Scopes trial) and was also first to rescind such a statute. Moreover, the con­ troversy endured one of its longest and bitterest durations in Oklahoma.1 Oklahoma's anti-evolution law originated as House bill number 197, an act creating and providing for a system of free textbooks in the public schools, and was introduced in the Ninth Oklahoma Legislature in 1923. 1 House bill 197, in turn, was supplemented by an "anti-Darwin" amendment proposed by Representative J. L. Montgomery of Anadarko. The anti­ Darwin or Montgomery amendment read: "... provided, further, that no copyright shall be purchased, nor text book adopted that teaches the 'Materialistic Conception of History' (1. e.) The Darwin Theory of Crea­ tion V8. the Bible Account of Creation.'" After considerable debate, the measure passed both houses of the legislature and on March 26, 1923, Gov­ ernor John C. Walton signed the controversial measure into law.. The obfuscable statute was rigidly enforced' but proved unsatisfactory to both its supporters and opponents. The fundamentalists were well aware of the limited applicability of the law and desired a stronger measure.' Also, due to the tremendous costs incurred, the free textbook law itself became exceedingly unpopular.

  • Shall the Funnymonkeyists Win? Answer to Dr
    Shall The Funnymonkeyists Win? Answer to Dr. Fosdick’s Sermon on “Shall The Fundamentalists Win?” Sermon preached by Rev. JOHN ROACH STRATON, D.D., at Calvary Baptist Church, New York City Sunday Night, September 24th, 1922 Text: “And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel? And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father’s house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and thou hast followed Baalim.” 1 Kings 18:17-18. Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, one of the pastors of the First Presbyterian Church of this city, preached recently on the subject: “SHALL THE FUNDAMENTALS WIN?” For his text, Dr. Fosdick very ingeniously and adroitly, though without regard for proper exegesis, turned some words of Gamaliel into a bit of gratuitous advice to the Fundamentalists of today not to fight against the rationalists and the radicals, lest they should later find that they had been opposing the truth and fighting God. Dr. Fosdick charges that the Fundamentalists are trying to drive liberal minded people out of the evangelical churches. He says that “The Fundamentalists’ program is essentially illiberal and intolerant,” and then he gives a statement of the alleged beliefs of the Fundamentalists which is grossly unfair and untrue. It is nothing but a caricature. We simply do not hold to the crass, crude and mechanical formulas that he alleges. Where misrepresentation is so manifest, argument is not necessary, and I dismiss this aspect of the question with a simple denial.
