Paul Blanshard was perhaps the best-known religious muckraker in America, and this, his fifteenth book, did not alter his reputation. This is a treasury of rationalism and religious conflict extracted from the span of over 200 years of moral and religious history since the French Enlightenment. It is committed to the separation of church and state and liberty of conscience. Blanshard's own introductions lure the reader into the worlds of outspoken, courageous, and witty iconoclasts. His background explanations of editorials, speeches, and retorts add excitement as well as historical interest to the selections.
Paul Blanshard (1892 - 1980) was an American author, assistant editor of The Nation magazine, lawyer, socialist, secular humanist, and from 1949 an outspoken critic of Catholicism.
