To understand the continued persistence of anti-evolutionism in American cultural history requires an understanding of its history. However, few libraries have collected more than the occasional book or pamphlet on creationism and early creationist periodicals are almost impossible to find. This collection makes available works on creationism by such stalwarts as Arthur I. Brown, William Bell Riley, Harry Rimmer, Byron C. Nelson, George McCready Price, Harold W. Clark and Frank Lewis Marsh. The volumes in this series each contain a preface by science historian Ronald L. Numbers, author of The Creationists: From Scientific Creationism to Intelligent Design that puts these writings into context.
Originally published in 1995, The Antievolution Pamphlets of William Bell Riley is the fourth volume in the series, Creationism in Twentieth Century America, reissued in 2021. The volume comprises nine antievolution pamphlets written by William Bell Riley during the interwar years. The pamphlets detail Riley's antievolutionist ideas and activities, and the book attempts to place the work in the larger contexts of Riley's career, as well as discussing the pamphlets included. The collection will be of especial interest to natural historians, and theologians as well as academics of philosophy, and history.
