This book contains a debate between Robert Green Ingersoll, a prominent 19th-century American agnostic lecturer, and J. B. McClure, with a rebuttal by Rabbi Wise of Cincinnati, Ohio. Published around 1879, it represents a notable early example of a public intellectual exchange in the United States involving a prominent atheist and a well-known Jewish religious figure.
