Synopsis
First published in 1958, in Christian Science Today the author's aim is to see what has happened in Christian Science since Mrs. Eddy’s time. Since the founder of Christian Science passed away, much has been written about Mary Baker Eddy and her movement; but not a single full-length study has appeared on the basis of entirely objective scholarship. It is the purpose of this book to remedy that lack.The book raises fundamental questions like- has the essential nature of her teaching been modified? Are there any trends in Christian Science thought today that are new, and if so, how has the Church regarded them? Have there been sectarian offshoots? What has become of them? How is the Church dealing currently with those who hold views supposedly at variance with the official views?The author is deeply respectful of the values in the faith founded by Mrs. Eddy, and he states fully and fairly the facts he has learned about Christian Science, the Church, and those who direct it. In his thorough documentation he relies on both official and unofficial sources, including a vast amount of unpublished material. This is an important historical reference work for scholars of Christianity and religion.Due to modern production methods, it has not been possible to include two fold-out image plates within the book.
