About this Item

Each issue. 27 x 21 cm. 8 pp. 2 issues. Exchange between David Tribe and Herbert Cutner on the historical Jesus debate. The Freethinker was founded in 1881 by G.W. Foote who edited it until his death in 1915 when he was succeeded by Chapman Cohen who continued in the role until 1951. It continued as a print journal until 2014 when it went online. It is thus the oldest secularist/freethought journal in the country. Foote?s Freethinker was deliberately provocative and as a result he earned a one-year term of imprisonment for blasphemy in 1883. The magazine was the mouthpiece of the National Secular Society in which capacity it continued until well into the current century. One page torn, corroding staples.
