Some Mistakes of Moses (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

by Robert G. Ingersoll

Overview

One of the nineteenth century’s leading spokesmen for freethinking and agnosticism, Ingersoll attempts nothing less than a deconstruction of the Old Testament in this volume. The stories of the Tower of Babel, Noah and the flood, the plagues of Egypt, and the forty years of wandering in the desert . . . all are greeted with skepticism, to say the least.
