Christian Science - Mark Twain

"Christian Science" is a provocative 1907 collection of essays by Mark Twain that critiques the religious movement founded by Mary Baker Eddy. Twain expresses a complex interest in mental healing while simultaneously unleashing a scathing attack on Eddy herself, whom he describes using a variety of unflattering terms. His reflections on faith, power, and the human condition resonate today as they challenge the intersection of belief and authority. The essays invite listeners to consider the implications of blind faith and the nature of true healing, making this work a timeless exploration of the complexities of spirituality and human motivation.
