Synopsis

Exposé of Christian Science Methods and Teaching reveals the dangers some say lie at the heart of a well-known spiritual movement.

The author argues that a philosophy centered on denial can shape a mindset prone to deception, hypocrisy, and harm, even as it wears a scriptural cloak.

This book surveys the ideas and practices associated with Christian Science, focusing on how belief systems can influence conduct, conscience, and social life. It presents cases and testimonies intended to illustrate the real-world effects of these teachings, from personal integrity to community trust.
  • Exposes how denial of matter is presented as a foundation of health and reality, and what that can mean in everyday actions.
  • Explores claims of hypnotic influence and how some teachings are said to shape thought and behavior.
  • Discusses examples of dishonesty, deception, and perceived intimidation within the movement.
  • Considers the broader impact on individual rights, morality, and civic life.
Ideal for readers of religious history, critical investigations of spiritual movements, and those seeking a cautionary view on controversial teachings.
