About the author
Born in 1890, Harry Rimmer was an American evangelist, lecturer, and author whose writing blended popular religion with arguments about science, Scripture, and Christian belief. He became especially well known as a public defender of creationism and as a forceful speaker in Protestant fundamentalist circles.
Rimmer wrote extensively, with books ranging from anti-evolution works to devotional and apologetic titles. Catalog and reference sources show a long list of publications, including Modern Science and the Genesis Record, The Theory of Evolution and the Facts of Science, and The Harmony of Science and Scripture, alongside many other religious works aimed at general readers.
He died in 1952, but his books continued to circulate through libraries, reprints, and online archives. Today he is remembered mainly as a vivid early twentieth-century voice in the long debate over science and faith in American Christianity.
