Publisher's Synopsis
""Christian Science and Organized Religion"" is a thought-provoking book written by Hugh A. Studdert-Kennedy that explores the differences between Christian Science and traditional organized religions. The author, who was a priest in the Church of England and later converted to Christian Science, provides a detailed analysis of the two belief systems and how they approach spirituality, healing, and the concept of God.Studdert-Kennedy argues that Christian Science offers a unique perspective on religion that emphasizes the power of the individual to connect with God and heal themselves through prayer and spiritual understanding. He contrasts this with traditional religions, which he claims often rely on external authority and dogma to guide their followers.The book also delves into the history of Christian Science and its founder, Mary Baker Eddy, as well as the controversies surrounding the movement. Studdert-Kennedy addresses criticisms of Christian Science, including accusations of being a cult or denying medical treatment, and offers his perspective on these issues.Overall, ""Christian Science and Organized Religion"" is a fascinating exploration of the differences between Christian Science and traditional organized religions, written by someone who has experienced both firsthand. It offers a unique perspective on spirituality and the role of religion in our lives.A plea for an impartial consideration and the examination of a new point of view. This is a streamlined version of the author's �������Mrs. Eddy: Her Life, Her Work, Her Place in History,������� beginning with the period immediately following Mrs. Eddy's demise, and also including additional material, highly cogent, which he had prepared and earmarked for this purpose. In giving the full story of �������the Great Litigation������� between the executives of The Mother Church and those of the Christian Science Publishing Society, so long suppressed by official interests, every effort has been made to keep the account impersonal and impartial.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
