Rev. A. J. Gordon (1836-1895), pastor of Clarendon Street Baptist Church in Boston, founded Gordon College and Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. He became a prominent speaker in evangelist Dwight L. Moody's Northfield conventions. He denounced Christian Science in newspaper articles and sermons. It was in response to a letter by Gordon and read by Rev. Joseph Cook at one of Cook's "Boston Monday Lectures" that Mary Baker Eddy would write what would become her book No and Yes.
