A Biblical Merry-Go-Round and Other Essays

By Arthur Babb

Book Overview

Arthur Babb (1865-1951) was a farmer, railroad carpenter, building contractor and self-taught bookbinder. Despite a lack of formal education he was also a studious man, a voracious reader and a freethinker.In 1944 and 1945, when he was seventy-nine years of age, Babb wrote two long essays in which he recorded his thoughts and opinions regarding religion. These essays, together with two short pieces composed nearly twenty years earlier and another written in 1946, make up this posthumous work in which the author asks in an occasionally humorous and conversational style of writing some thought-provoking questions that challenge the veracity of one of humankind's oldest and most sacred concepts.
