Christian Science eBook Mark Twain Reviews
This author sure knows how to sock it to mbe. Great job! Bravo!
I love Mark Twain's sense of humor and intelligence. In spite of the fact that he had enormous fun in spoofing the religion, he had great respect for it. His daughter became a Christian Scientist. She was the only one who survived in Samuel Clemmons nuclear family.
Twain's writing is always good, production-wise, but this goes on and on. As irreligious as ever, he heaps scorn high onto hatred against Mary Baker Eddy and her church. Makes it seem like they were the Scientologists of thier day and she their L.Ron Hubbard.
Twain really did his homework, though, and one can easily believe every word. Might be fun to compare with today's Christian Scientists.
I always enjoy Mark Twain's work. The first 2 chapters were so funny I hurt my belly button laughing. After that he got mostly serious as he skewered Mary Baker Eddy and Christian Science. He still manages to poke a little humor in even in the serious parts.
This is an ironic work that Mark Twain wrote to against the founder of Christian Science Mrs. Eddy. What is the truth, or whether what Mark Twain told is true or not, I do not know and nor it is my desire to know, but the words used by Mark Twain are very funny that is true.
Great book on Christian Science--if you like this book you will also want to read the following 99-cent books on Christian Science
1 The Life of Mary Baker Eddy and the History of Christian Science (1908)
2 Scientific Christian Mental Practice
3 High Mysticism A Series of Twelve Studies in the Wisdom of the Sages of the Ages
4 Spiritual law in the natural world
It is my understanding that someone in Twain's family sought out a Christian Science practitioner, and did not get well. This, along with his skeptical spirit, may have led Twain to write this critique of Christian Science. The Twain wit is in place throughout. He spends a lot of time over his concern that Mary Baker Eddy was fast becoming (in the attitude of CS's followers) deified. He doesn't say much about the metaphysical beliefs of CS. He spends a lot of time expressing his concern over the iron-fisted control Eddy had over all aspects of the sect, especially the financial. Those who want to read everything Twain wrote, and those interested in how CS was seen in its early days, will find this an interesting read.
