1885H36458New York: Phillips & Hunt 1885. First Printing. Hardcover. Very good. Small 8vo brick cloth very good crisp copy. 176 pp. Uncommon in the trade. A trashing of Mary Baker Eddy's Christian Science and her book Science and Health as Key to the Scriptures. In response an editor in the Christian Science Journal's August 1885 issue wrote "Ignominious silence is displeasing to Justice else readers of the compiled lectures on "Faith Work" by L. T. Townsend might be pardoned for passing the book by as unworthy note or comment. Its ungentlemanly unchristian malignant as false comments on Christian healing have elicited the severest denunciations of Christians everywhere; its low personalities meet with lofty scorn. This author quotes broken passages from Science and Health and abstractions of its Science ambiguous to the carnal mind separates sentences from the context changing their entire meaning and presents them to his readers as literal—an abuse by which even the Scriptures can be subverted. Then he pronounces the entire work destitute of reason and the author an impostor pantheist and infidel. It is unprecedented—his uncalled for attack upon a woman forty years a member in good standing of the Orthodox church and recommended by its pastor to sister churches when herself became pastor of the Church of Christ in Boston. Likening her pious ministrations to the barbarous proceedings of a colored outcast is like the dark cursing of some lost soul pictured by the old poets startling the age with its hideousness." Despite Townsend's high-handed approach to Eddy he himself had unusual ideas that fell out of the mainstream of modern thought: he was a creationist who attacked evolution and defended the first chapters of Genesis in his books Evolution or Creation 1896 Adam and Eve 1904 and Collapse of Evolution 1905. He was a supporter of William Menzies Alexander's research on demonic possession. Phillips & Hunt hardcover
