Exploring Christian Science through a Catholic lens, this work examines beliefs, origins, and practical contrasts.

It offers a guided tour of modern mind-healing movements, their claims, and how Catholic thought responds to them, without assuming miracle claims. The text situates Christian Science and New Thought within a broader religious and historical context, helping readers understand where these ideas come from and how they differ from traditional Christian miracles.

The book traces historical roots of mind healing, surveys major figures and movements, and analyzes the underlying metaphysical claims. It presents Catholic perspective on the spiritual and doctrinal implications, with careful, critical detail that aims to illuminate rather than persuade.

Clear overview of modern mind-healing movements and their methods
Discussion of philosophical and theological presuppositions from a Catholic viewpoint
Comparisons between claimed healing practices and traditional Christian miracles
Context on how these movements influenced religious thought and culture

Ideal for readers interested in religious history, Catholic theology, and the debate over mind-healing movements in modern times.
