John V. Dittemore
John Valentine Dittemore (1876–1937) was a director of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, the Christian Science church, in Boston from 1909 until 1919. Before that he was head of the church's Committee on Publication in New York, and a trustee for ten years of the estate of Mary Baker Eddy (1821–1910), the founder of Christian Science.〔Ralph H. Gabriel, (''Mary Baker Eddy, the Truth and the Tradition'' by Ernest Sutherland Bates; John V. Dittemore ), ''The New England Quarterly'', Vol. 6, No. 1 (March 1933, pp. 200–202), p. 200.〕
Dittemore is best known as the co-author, with Ernest Sutherland Bates, of ''Mary Baker Eddy, the Truth and the Tradition'' (1932). Historian Ralph Henry Gabriel wrote in 1933 that, because of the amount of primary-source material to which Dittemore had access, the book "comes very close to being a definitive history of a strangely paradoxical woman."〔(Gabriel 1933 ), p. 202.〕
==Background==
As head of the church's Committee on Publication, Dittemore commissioned the first church-authorized biography of Eddy, ''The Life of Mary Baker Eddy'' (1907) by Sibyl Wilbur, which he writes was later shown to be unreliable. Over the next 20 years he collected primary-source material about the church and Eddy. As his research progressed he began to find material, including thousands of letters Eddy had written, that in his view contradicted the church's account of its own history and Eddy's life. The church at first supported his research, then tried to dissuade him from continuing with it.〔''Truth and the Tradition'', p. iv.〕
He became disillusioned with the church after coming to the view in 1928 that Eddy's work, much of it in the religion's textbook ''Science and Health'' (1875), had borrowed heavily from the unpublished manuscripts of New England "mental healer" Phineas Parkhurst Quimby (1802–1866). He was also concerned that the church had attempted to boycott Charles Scribner's Sons for publishing a critical biography of Eddy, Edwin Dakin's ''Mrs. Eddy: The Biography of a Virginal Mind'' (1929).〔''Truth and the Tradition'', p. iv; (Gabriel 1933 ), p. 202.〕 The publisher took out an ad in the ''Los Angeles Times'' in December 1929 saying that booksellers across America were returning the book under pressure. It said: "The result is a situation almost incredible in a free country."〔William Duffield, ("''Mrs. Eddy: The Biography of a Virginal Mind''" ), letter to the editor, ''California and Western Medicine'', 20 December 1929.〕
