Synopsis
Excerpt from The Non-Sense of Christian Science
It is no easy matter to ferret out the real teach ing of Science and Health. This is not because it is deep, but because it is intellectually tricky. One reason lies in the fact that it is written in a lan guage all its own. The words look like familiar words, but their meaning has been arbitrarily changed to suit Mrs. Eddy's fancy. For this rea son it is practically impossible to understand what is written unless one is perfectly familiar with this new language. By this trick its real teaching is so superbly camouflaged that even to-day the great majority of its followers have not the faintest idea as to the real character of its fundamental teach ing. From beginning to end there runs through it a purposeful ambiguity in the use of all the great key words of religion, so that the first im pression one always receives is of being in per fectly familiar religious territory. All the Old words and phrases are used; the Bible is declared to be its only authority, God the only helper, and Christ the only Saviour of humanity. What more can one ask to guarantee its genuine Christian character?

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is the seminal Christian Science text, setting out the religion's tenets as established by Mary Baker Eddy in the late 19th century. It draws on the Bible as its sole scriptural authority, presenting a radical re-interpretation of Christian metaphysics and the nature of God, Spirit, and humanity. The author argues that the material world is an illusion, and that sin, sickness, and death are errors of mortal mind. This book seeks to provide a spiritual path to healing and enlightenment through the understanding and application of these principles, offering readers a unique and challenging perspective on the nature of reality and the human condition. Its insights have had a profound impact on the development of alternative spiritual and healing practices, making this book an important reference point for anyone interested in the history and diversity of religious thought.
