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
