Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christian Science, Medicine, and Occultism Of course, I was often met by the rejoinder: 'we shall never fall a prey to so palpable a swindle; it is merely American humbugl' But to the practised eye, following impartially the trend of civilization in the United States, where not only industry and commerce flourish in an uncommon degree, but where science as well is pursued with unbounded enthusiasm, the mere mention of such words as 'american, ' 'humbug, ' and swindle' in the same breath appear as a delusion. America is no more the land of humbug and swindle than are the States of the Old World. After all, so far as psychical epidemics are concerned, what does it matter whether the intellectual standard of one country is slightly superior to that of another? The susceptibility for psychical epidemics is in no way afl'ected thereby; the difi'erence between civilized countries is too slight, but the similarities are very pronounced. Psychical epidemics naturally find the same fertile ground for development in Germany as in the United States or in England, or any other country, since all nations consider themselves the most enlightened, and look upon others with a certain disdain.

Download or read book The Christian Science of Health Based on the Scripture Classic Reprint written by Mary Starck and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Science of Health, Based on the Scripture The ideas presented in "The Christian Science of Health, based on the Scriptures," are the result of years of experience, observation and study. They are not untried theories, for they have been put into practice by hundreds of Christians throughout the world, and wherever tried, have proved successful in bringing about a more joyous, healthy and useful life than would have been possible without them, and those who have been living by these principles will have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who is seeking the right road to health and happiness. It will be necessary for the reader of this book to keep a Bible by his side throughout the time while he is engaged in its study, as the references given must be read for the proper understanding of "The Christian Science of Health," and as each new truth is grasped, it must be at once put into practice, as this will greatly assist in the comprehension of the rest. Unless this is done, the reader cannot expect to receive any benefit from the book, or from the Bible, whence its ideas are drawn. To those who do read and practice its principles, however, there will, without doubt, come the blessings of health-improvement and happiness which they have been seeking, and have sought in vain elsewhere. So the writer would say, "Go, little book, the world is wide," and there are many souls waiting for the light which may come to them through thy pages; carry a blessing to them, and so fulfill the mission on which thou art sent.

Download or read book The Life of Mary Baker G Eddy and the History of Christian Science written by Willa Cather and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1993-01-01 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This controversial biography of the founder of the Christian Science church was serialized in McClure's Magazine in 1907-8 and published as a book the next year. It disappeared almost overnight and has been difficult to find ever since. Although a Canadian mewspaperwoman named Georgine Milmine collected the material and was credited as the author, The Life Of Mary Baker G. Eddy was actually written by Willa Cather, an editor at McClure's at that time. In his introduction to this Bison Book edition, David Stouck reveals new evidence of Cather's authorship of The Life of Mary Baker G. Eddy. He discusses her fidelity to facts and her concern with psychology and philosophy that would take creative form later on. Indeed, this biography contains "some of the finest portrait sketches and reflections on human nature that Willa Cather would ever write."

Download or read book Alchemical Belief written by Bruce Janacek and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2015-08-21 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What did it mean to believe in alchemy in early modern England? In this book, Bruce Janacek considers alchemical beliefs in the context of the writings of Thomas Tymme, Robert Fludd, Francis Bacon, Sir Kenelm Digby, and Elias Ashmole. Rather than examine alchemy from a scientific or medical perspective, Janacek presents it as integrated into the broader political, philosophical, and religious upheavals of the first half of the seventeenth century, arguing that the interest of these elite figures in alchemy was part of an understanding that supported their national—and in some cases royalist—loyalty and theological orthodoxy. Janacek investigates how and why individuals who supported or were actually placed at the traditional center of power in England’s church and state believed in the relevance of alchemy at a time when their society, their government, their careers, and, in some cases, their very lives were at stake.

Download or read book Christian Science on Trial written by Rennie B. Schoepflin and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2003-05-22 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Christian Science on Trial, historian Rennie B. Schoepflin shows how Christian Science healing became a viable alternative to medicine at the end of the nineteenth century. Christian Scientists did not simply evangelize for their religious beliefs; they engaged in a healing business that offered a therapeutic alternative to many patients for whom medicine had proven unsatisfactory. Tracing the evolution of Christian Science during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Christian Science on Trial illuminates the movement's struggle for existence against the efforts of organized American medicine to curtail its activities. Physicians exhibited an anxiety and tenacity to trivialize and control Christian Scientists which indicates a lack of confidence among the turn-of-the-century medical profession about who controlled American health care. The limited authority of the medical community becomes even clearer through Schoepflin's examination of the pitched battles fought by physicians and Christian Scientists in America's courtrooms and legislative halls over the legality of Christian Science healing. While the issues of medical licensing, the meaning of medical practice, and the supposed right of Americans to therapeutic choice dominated early debates, later confrontations saw the legal issues shift to matters of contagious disease, public safety, and children's rights. Throughout, Christian Scientists revealed their ambiguous status as medical practitioners and religious healers. The 1920s witnessed an unsteady truce between American medicine and Christian Science. The ambivalence of many Americans about the practice of religious healing persisted, however. In Christian Science on Trial we gain a helpful historical context for understanding late–twentieth-century public debates over children's rights, parental responsibility, and the authority of modern medicine.
