Episode 427 - My Biblical Knowledge Is a Trifle Rusty

Henry T. Folsom's 1965 article looking at the religious beliefs of Sherlock Holmes.

“There is nothing in which deduction is so necessary as in religion” [NAVA]

The Morley-Montgomery Award-winning article this month is "My Biblical Knowledge is a Trifle Rusty" by Henry T. Folsom, BSI ("The Golden Pince-Nez"), from The Baker Street Journal, Volume 15, No. 3.

Rev. Folsom took the opportunity as a practitioner of the faith to examine the religious beliefs (or lack thereof) of Sherlock Holmes. Was he an atheist? Was he a believer? And if so, what form did it take? It's just a Trifle.
