Monkey Business: The True Story of the Scopes Trial

Marvin Olasky and John Perry. Nashville: B&H Publishing Group, 2005. 344 pp. (Hardback).

This book explores the 1925 Scopes Monkey Trial in an in-depth fashion. This production is greatly needed since the facts of the case had never been fairly and fully reported until this book was published.

It is surprising to learn that John Scopes never taught evolution but was an athletic coach and math teacher.
Furthermore, the evolution theory had been in school textbooks since 1909.

Here, readers will discover an appropriate account of faith and the law as well as the dawn of mass media and media sensationalism.
