FROM THE DUST JACKET: "Forty years ago in Dayton, Tennessee, the forces of science and theology met head-on in a trial that captured the attention of the nation as have few others before or since. IN the end theology won, and not even Clarence Darrow could save John T. Scopes from conviction for the teaching of evolution. After the trial Dayton drifted back into quiet normalcy, and the nation, the weight of doubt apparently lifted, turned away and went about its business. What happened to John Sopes? Did his trial mean anything? Did it settle anything? Change anything?' Where are we now, forty years after, in the irreconcilable conflict between Adam and the monkey? This book is an attempt at an answer. Written by men who either participated in the trial of who are deeply involved in the issues that were at stake."CONDITION: Both book and dust jacket are VG with moderate shelf wear. Unmarked. Dust jacket is bears chipping around the extremities and a 1 inch closed tear at the head of the front cover. A solid, very readable copy. Full refund if not satisfied.…

Store description
Since 2005, Shelley and Son Books has been passionate about books, and preserving their importance for current and future generations. We believe that virtue and beauty have a close relationship. By reading we gain knowledge. In knowledge we find things that inform our choices and beliefs. Therefore, as booksellers, we see that books have an aesthetic value and a heuristic value. We specialize in The Inklings, primarily "The Seven'": C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Dorothy Sayers, G. K. Chesterton, George MacDonald, Owen Barfield and Charles Williams. A sub-specialty is our significant collection of Christian Theology. But you'll also find works across the centuries, first editions, signed copies, and even modern books, too, across a broad selection of categories and genres. Customer service is of utmost importance to us, and our friendly staff is always happy to help. We assure our clients books of quality, as each copy is carefully graded and shipped with care. Located in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina, we can be found on Main Street in Hendersonville, North Carolina, (just south of Asheville). We are primarily an online bookstore, but we invite you to make an appointment for an on-site visit! Shelley and Son Books is owned by Stan Shelley. …
