Excerpt from Christian Science: As a Religious Belief and a Therapeutic Agent It is only fair to Christian Science and the author to say at the outset that I am not a member of the Christian Science fellowship; but I am a lover of fair play and of all things that make for a nobler and purer life and the true happiness of the people. Several years ago, I entertained much of the popular prejudice that is usually manifested toward new theories, discoveries and truths which run counter to the popular and generally accepted concepts of society. But I have always made it a rule of my life to try and understand a subject before attempting to criticise or to influence others either for or against it. I, therefore, made a personal study of the subject in order to be able to discuss it intelligently. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

From the INTRODUCTION. THAT we in America are living in the presence of one of the most remarkable spiritual movements known to history will not be questioned by any thoughtful person who is cognizant of current events, where a new religious movement that a few years ago was as the voice of one crying in the wilderness, heeded by few, has become a great moral and religious factor in the nation and the world. Fifteen years ago Christian Science had no church building; today there are hundreds of handsome church edifices, besides the magnificent temple in Boston, which cost two miUion dollars to erect; while the spread of the faith among the people and its wonderful influence in bringing health, peace and happiness while kindling anew spiritual idealism in tens of thousands of hearts, speaks of the presence of a truth vital to help in a world hungering and thirsting for something better than the husks of dogmatic and creedal theology and the materialistic externalism of forms and rites. Nor is this all. The new truth crossed the seas and has already been gladly received in various quarters of the globe. Seldom in history has a religious movement spread so swiftly and appealed so compellingly to highly intellectual and deeply earnest men and women; and the rapid growth has been made in the face of a persistent campaign of misrepresentation, misinterpretation and slander rarely surpassed in the annals of spiritual advance.

From the INTRODUCTION. THAT we in America are living in the presence of one of the most remarkable spiritual movements known to history will not be questioned by any thoughtful person who is cognizant of current events, where a new religious movement that a few years ago was as the voice of one crying in the wilderness, heeded by few, has become a great moral and religious factor in the nation and the world. Fifteen years ago Christian Science had no church building; today there are hundreds of handsome church edifices, besides the magnificent temple in Boston, which cost two miUion dollars to erect; while the spread of the faith among the people and its wonderful influence in bringing health, peace and happiness while kindling anew spiritual idealism in tens of thousands of hearts, speaks of the presence of a truth vital to help in a world hungering and thirsting for something better than the husks of dogmatic and creedal theology and the materialistic externalism of forms and rites. Nor is this all. The new truth crossed the seas and has already been gladly received in various quarters of the globe. Seldom in history has a religious movement spread so swiftly and appealed so compellingly to highly intellectual and deeply earnest men and women; and the rapid growth has been made in the face of a persistent campaign of misrepresentation, misinterpretation and slander rarely surpassed in the annals of spiritual advance. This fact suggests an objection constantly advanced against Christian Science by those who are more given to echoing the sophistry of conventionalism than to thinking for themselves. It is claimed that Mrs. Eddy never received a university education, is not what is termed a learned woman; but this is merely the repetition of an objection that has been advanced time and again against great moral leaders and reformers. Indeed, from the standpoint of the learned Jews and Romans of Jesus' day, would He not have been regarded as ignorant — too ignorant, indeed, to merit serious consideration being given His words on the part of those who seem to imagine that scholastic learning is a necessary accompaniment to a vital moral or spiritual message? In the case of the great Nazarene, His lack of scholastic training did not prevent His doing mighty works or winning the heart of the people to a nobler ideal of life and promulgating the loftiest code of ethics the world has ever known. As a matter of fact, is it not true that almost every religious leader has been denounced either as ignorant or as a charlatan, an imposter and a dangerous character? More than this. How many of these have escaped being denounced as corrupt, immoral and beneath the respect of those who claimed to be pillars of religion, society and the state? Look, for example, at Socrates, whose lofty moral precepts have been an inspiration to the high-minded for over three thousand years. He was condemned to death on the charge of corrupting the youths of Athens and of impiety. His corruption lay in teaching them to think for themselves and to think broadly and honestly. We have no records that voice the charges of the enemies of Jesus or the calumnies and slanders that doubtless were industriously circulated in regard to the Nazarene, save those which incidentally crop out in the writings of His followers; but from these we see how He was criticized. Thus on one occasion, it will be remembered, Jesus admitted that His enemies described Him as a wine-bibber and a friend of publicans and sinners, or in other words, as one addicted to strong drink and who associated with those whom the Jews held to be the vilest members of society....

Christian Science is one of only two indigenous American religions, the other being Mormonism. Yet it has not always been examined seriously within the context of the history of religious ideas and the development of American religious life. Stephen Gottschalk fills this void with an examination of Christian Science’s root concepts—the informing vision and the distinctive mission as formulated by its founder, Mary Baker Eddy. Concentrating on the quarter-century preceding Eddy's death, a period of phenomenal growth for Christian Science, Gottschalk challenges the conventional academic view of the movement as a fringe sect. He finds instead a serious and distinctive, though radical, religious teaching that began to flower just as orthodox Protestantism began to fade. He gives a clear and detailed account of the rancorous controversies between Christian Science and the various mind-cure and occult movements with which it is often associated, and contends that Christian Science appealed to disenchanted Protestants because of its pragmatic quality—a quality that relates it to the mainstream of American culture. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1973.

The classical revival style of architecture made famous by the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago left its mark on one of the most sustained classical building movements in American architectural history: the Christian Science church building movement. By 1920 every major American city and many smaller towns contained an example of this architecture, financed by the followers of Mary Baker Eddy, the church's founder. These buildings represented a new, burgeoning American institution that appealed to business people and to young men and women working to succeed. Characterized by middle-class congregations that in the early part of the century were over 75 percent women, Christian Science suggested radical civic reform solutions based on an idealistic and pragmatic individualism. It attracted criticism from traditional churches and from the medical establishment due to its rapid growth and to its reinstatement of primitive Christianity's lost elements of physical healing and moral regeneration. Prayers in Stone spins out the close connections between Christian Science church architecture and its social context. This architecture served as a focal point for debates over the possibilities for a new twentieth-century urban architecture that proponents believed would positively shape the behavior of citizens. Thus these buildings played a critical role in discussions concerning religious and secular architecture as major elements of religious and social reform. Drawing on a wide range of documentary evidence, including material from the archives of the Mother Church in Boston, Paul Ivey uses Christian Science architecture to explore the social implications of architecturalstyles and new building technologies, to illuminate class-based notions of civic reform and beautification, and to investigate the use of architecture to bring about religious and social change. In addition, the book explores complex gender issues, including early attempts to define a professional space for women as Christian Science practitioners. Lavishly illustrated, Prayers in Stone focuses on four major city arenas of Christian Science building -- Boston, Chicago, New York, and the San Francisco Bay area -- to demonstrate the vital intersection of architecture and religion at the so-called margins of American society.

The right to turn one's chosen source is now well established in both law and ethics, but where children are unable to choose for themselves the situation is fraught with moral difficulties. This book highlights some of these difficulties and gives an insight into the doctrines and beliefs of Christian Scientists. There are no easy answers, although the insights offered by this book help to inform the debate.

An incisive look into the problematic relationships among medicine, politics, and business in America and their effects on the nation's health "A comprehensive, revealing and surprising account of the history of American medicine."--David Blumenthal, M.D., coauthor of The Heart of Power: Health and Politics in the Oval Office and president of the Commonwealth Fund "This book is both an important contribution to the history of the American medical profession (and its impact on society as a whole), and a reminder of the malleable, historically contingent nature of its identity and ethos."--Scott H. Podolsky, M.D., author of The Antibiotic Era Meticulously tracing the dramatic conflicts both inside organized medicine and between the medical profession and the larger society over quality, equality, and economy in health care, Peter A. Swenson illuminates the history of American medical politics from the late nineteenth century to the present. This book chronicles the role of medical reformers in the progressive movement around the beginning of the twentieth century and the American Medical Association's dramatic turn to conservatism later. Addressing topics such as public health, medical education, pharmaceutical regulation, and health-care access, Swenson paints a disturbing picture of the entanglements of medicine, politics, and profit seeking that explain why the United States remains the only economically advanced democracy without universal health care. Swenson does, however, see a potentially brighter future as a vanguard of physicians push once again for progressive reforms and the adoption of inclusive, effective, and affordable practices.
