The Truth and Error of Christian Science (Classic Reprint)

A clear, thoughtful look at Christian Science and its claims.

This impartial study traces the movement’s ideas about reality, mind, and healing, and offers a cautious critique grounded in philosophy and science.

Structured for quick reading, the book surveys the Christian Science position, its treatment of matter, mind, illness, and death, and the way these ideas compare with traditional science and Christian teaching. It explains why some thinkers found the movement compelling, while others challenged its metaphysical assumptions. The author aims to separate helpful insights from unhelpful abstractions, inviting readers to weigh evidence with care.

• Foundational overview of Christian Science and its core beliefs
• Discussion of reality, mind, matter, and the role of science in understanding health
• Critique of metaphysical claims and their implications for healing, ethics, and everyday life
• Context for readers interested in religious movements, philosophy of mind, and the history of modern healing

Ideal for readers curious about how mental healing is viewed within Christian thought, and how mainstream science and religion respond to its premises.
