Ingersoll

The book ""Ingersoll and Moses: A Reply"" by Samuel Ives Curtiss is a response to the famous American orator Robert G. Ingersoll's criticism of Moses and the Bible. Ingersoll was known for his attacks on organized religion and his advocacy for rationalism and scientific skepticism. In his lectures and writings, he often criticized the Bible and its teachings, including the story of Moses and the Ten Commandments.Curtiss, a minister and scholar of the Bible, provides a detailed rebuttal to Ingersoll's arguments. He defends the authenticity and authority of the Bible, and argues that Moses was a real historical figure who played a crucial role in the development of Judaism and Christianity. Curtiss also addresses Ingersoll's criticisms of the Ten Commandments and argues that they are still relevant and necessary moral principles for modern society.The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both scholars and general readers interested in the debate between religion and skepticism. It provides a valuable perspective on the ongoing discussion of the role of religion in contemporary society.1879.
