Robert Peel’s Mary
Baker Eddy - The Years of Discovery
The first thing that took my eye was
in the dust cover blurb at the front of the book: “The outstanding value
of the study, according to the Literary Journal is its “representation
of the growth and the development of a revolutionary interpretation of the
Scriptures.”” Isn’t that grand?
As students of Christian Science we
are revolutionaries! Something to ponder!
Next thing is that this is
definitely a work of literature by a professional historian and teacher (I am
not sure if teaching at Harvard can be classified as professorship). This
is evident by all the allusions to famous people, events, and writings which we
feel we must, or at least should, learn more about.
This is not light reading.
Peel expects his readers to be willing to ponder his words, and be thinkers,
students even.
