A Rebel to His Last Breath
This is the first biography of Joseph McCabe (1867-1955), a former Catholic preist who became one of the best-known champions and a prolific popularizer of freethought and rationalism in the first half of the 20th century. McCabe's encyclopedic curiosity, rigorous scholarship, and above all his unswerving intellectual honesty led him through a tumultuous career of public lecturing and debating, and an incredible output of over 200 books. He tackled the most controversial issues of the modern era: evolution, biblical errancy, belief in God, immorality, spiritualism, capitalism vs. socialism, women's rights, and many other topics. Much of his writing was published in the form of the "Little Blue Books" by E. Haldeman-Julius, who declared McCabe to be "the world's greatest scholar." Today in our postmodern period, where Enlightenment values are being questioned and irrationalism in many guises has become fashionable, McCabe's gift for rational inquiry, respect for scientific evidence, and lucid, no-nonsense prose are both relevant and welcome.
The Empresses of Constantinople
Joseph McCabe brings us another book chronicling the empresses of the Classic and Medieval Era, which in this particular publication, focuses on the rise and fall of Constantinople's empresses. Constantinople's empresses came from backgrounds far more varied than its Western Roman Empire counterpart, ranging from "princesses to village girls, tavern girls or circus girls." Featured in this book are famous names such as the empress regnant and Eastern Orthodox saint Theodora the Blessed; the actress turned empress consort Theodora I; and the author and princess Anna Comnena.
The Story of Evolution
The Story of Evolution by Joseph McCabe is a summary of evolutionary theory from the perspective of a 1900s English writer. McCabe writes about the Big Bang, modern man, and the subsequent evolution of plants, animals, and humans. Evolution is the change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. These characteristics are the expressions of genes that are passed on from parent to offspring during reproduction.
The Myth of the Resurrection and Other Essays
One of the most important rationalists of his era takes readers through the ancient world to show how Christianity appropriated the ceremonies and myths of paganism to elaborate the Resurrection story. McCabe cogently demonstrates that the Jesus of the gospels is not historical but a curious amalgam constructed after his death, and the gospels themselves are unreliable as biographies.
