Download or read book The Emergence of Christian Science in American Religious Life written by Stephen Gottschalk and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2024-07-26 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Symposium: Searchlights on Christian Science This series of articles upon Christian Science first appeared in The Standard, of Chicago, during the first part of the present year. The original series, containing seven of the chapters, was prepared at the request of the editors to meet an evident demand. The choice of writers and assignment of topics was purposely so made as to insure a variety of method and of opinion. Had it been desired to produce a systematic treatise possessing entire unity and consistency, the task would naturally have been committed to a single writer. It was thought that the views of various men, some trained as students, others as practical pastors ministering to many classes, would better serve the purpose. This purpose was quite as much to inform The Standard's readers on the tenets and usages of Christian Science as to combat the new teaching. A certain divergence of feeling and of opinion due to the different estimates of the several writers is therefore not regarded as unfortunate. It fairly represents the sentiment of evangelical denominations toward Christian Science. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
