Synopsis

This book analyzes the principles of Christian Science, a late 19th-century spiritual and faith-based approach to healing and religion. The author, a professor, explores the founding principles of the church, contrasting them with prevailing religious views of the day. Specifically, this book examines the significance of Christian Science in the history of mysticism, healthcare, and the rise of individualism in society. The author elucidates how Christian Science is a reaction to its era's materialism and ecclesiasticism, how its adherents use it as an alternative to traditional Protestant services, and the potential risks of its anti-material perspectives. Thus the book offers a rare look at this unique movement's broad social and historical relevance, and its unique place within a tradition of philosophical mysticism.
