Inhaltsangabe
A sharp, revealing look at Christian Science and its leadership This nonfiction work surveys the inner workings of a religious movement, using biting humor to uncover how doctrine, governance, and language shape its followers and critics. Through vivid scenes and historical detail, the book examines the authority of its founder, the process for membership, and the strict control over church life and language.
From the bedside of a patient to the margins of church bylaws, the book travels through encounters with practitioners, readers, and leaders. It balances candid critique with a keen eye for how ideas become power, and how language can both illuminate and obscure truth.
- Get a close view of the people, places, and rules that define a spiritual movement.
- See how language and transcription influence authority and belief.
- Explore the tension between public faith and personal skepticism.
- Understand the author’s satirical perspective and why it remains controversial.
Ideal for readers of history, religion, and literary reportage who want a provocative, inside look at a famous movement.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a product of the author's firsthand experience with illness and recovery. Their interaction with Christian Science began with a physical accident, and resulted in a worldview shift that led to their research into the history and methods of the practice. Throughout their study, they maintained skepticism, and found that many of the so-called "cures" attributed to the practice could be explained by psychosomatic healing. They contend that the faith and hope cultivated in the patient through the practice is what leads to the improvement in their physical or emotional health, and that the practice has the potential to expand its benefits to broader areas of human experience. The book also includes testimonials from individuals who claim to have been cured by Christian Science, offering a glimpse into the personal experiences of those who have found relief through the practice.
