NCSE deputy director Glenn Branch reviewed Brenda Wineapple’s new book about the Scopes trial, Keeping the Faith: God, Democracy, and the Trial that Riveted a Nation, for The Humanist (September 4, 2024), following up on his recent review of Gregg Jarrett’s The Trial of the Century for Free Inquiry.
“Well-researched, well-paced, and well-written, there is a lot to like about Keeping the Faith,” Branch concluded his review. “[A]t a time when attacks on evolution education seem to be sadly resurgent, it is good to be presented with such a spirited chronicle of the fabulous monkey trial of a century ago.”
