The Evolution of Man and Christianity.

8vo. 410, [10] pp. Brown blind- and gilt-stamped cloth; extremities with kozo mends. Ownership signature of J.K. Light. Good+. With this book Darwinism and conservative religious leaders clashed: On January 5, 1891, the New York Times reported that the Reverend Howard MacQueary was charged with heresy "for breach of his ordination vows," in Canton, Ohio and would be judged by leading members of the Protestant Episcopal Church. "That [MacQueary] is an acute thinker his heretical book on "The Evolution of Man and Christianity" clearly shows; he could not be mistaken as to the meaning of the creed which he was called upon to repeat every Sunday, and which he had sacredly promised to maintain and defend; and yet he publicly denies the virgin birth of Jesus Christ and his literal resurrection and ascension, and can not see that in so doing he is assailing the very foundations of the faith once delivered to the saints." Zion's Herald. [Public Opinion, vol. 10, (1891), p. 380]. See: MacQueary, his trial for heresy, the verdict and sentence. Cleveland: The Williams Publishing Co., 1891.
