Faith or Agnosticism: The Field Ingersol Debate

By Henry M. Field and Robert G. Ingersoll

Book Overview

The Field-Ingersoll Discussion is a book that features a debate between two prominent figures in the late 19th century, William T. Field and Robert G. Ingersoll. The discussion centers around the topic of religion and its role in society. Field, a Presbyterian minister, argues in favor of traditional religious beliefs and practices, while Ingersoll, a renowned orator and skeptic, presents a secular and rationalist perspective. The book provides a transcript of their debate, which took place over several days in 1887, and includes commentary and analysis from both participants. The Field-Ingersoll Discussion is a fascinating historical document that sheds light on the intellectual and cultural climate of the late 19th century, and provides insight into the ongoing debate between religion and secularism in modern society.THIS 106 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Works of Robert G.
