I should not like this book, being raised a Baptist, but I enjoy debating the Bible with others. And, this satire of a hypocritical Baptist/Methodist preacher is a great debate of the many things that confuse people of the Bible. Elmer Gantry, with his showmanship, is someone you will love to hate. You just can't wait for him to get his comeuppance. He is really an unforgivable guy. #CenturyReads 1927

Butterfinger He is the worst kind of #Monster - He doesn't believe what he preaches. He preys on people's insecurities. #BBRC @LibrarianRyan 3y

so-so

A cautionary tale every aspiring preacher should read. Elmer, full of himself and his great importance, connives his way to greatness and glory while privately disdainful of all he pretends to hold dear. His self deception throughout is macabrely fascinating.
