Description
Kansas City had many successful entrepreneurs at the turn of the last century. One of these was John Emerson Roberts who, like many others, came from elsewhere and matured with the city. A popular preacher, first as a Baptist, then as a Unitarian, Dr. Roberts was inspired by Robert Ingersoll to create his own independent "Church of This World." In this carefully researched yet informal biography, Dr. Young follows his career as Roberts lectured on reason and progress and the errors of conventional religion for more than thirty years and sought to make Kansas City "a center of agnosticism" for the nation.
