Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'The Faith, the Falsity and the Failure of Christian Science' offers a comprehensive and multi-disciplinary critique of the Christian Science movement during the early 20th century. This collaborative work features contributions from three experts who approach the subject from unique vantage points: Woodbridge Riley, a professor of philosophy; Frederick W. Peabody, a member of the Boston Bar; and Charles E. Humiston, a doctor of medicine. Together, they provide a rigorous examination of the spiritual, legal, and clinical claims central to the faith established by Mary Baker Eddy.The work begins by exploring the philosophical origins and historical evolution of Christian Science, questioning its theological foundations and the sources of its doctrine. Peabody's contribution delves into the legal controversies and ethical concerns surrounding the movement's practices, while Humiston offers a medical perspective on the failures of spiritual healing when confronted with physical pathology. This book serves as a significant historical document for readers interested in the intersection of religion, law, and medicine, as well as those studying the rise of New Thought movements and religious skepticism in American history.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
