A New Appraisal Of Christian Science (1906)

by Joseph Dunn Burrell

Book Overview

""A New Appraisal of Christian Science"" is a book written by Joseph Dunn Burrell in 1906. The book offers a comprehensive analysis and critique of the teachings of Christian Science, a religious movement founded by Mary Baker Eddy in the late 19th century. Burrell examines the fundamental beliefs of Christian Science, including the nature of God, the role of Jesus Christ, and the concept of sin and salvation. He also explores the practical applications of Christian Science, such as healing through prayer and the use of affirmations. Throughout the book, Burrell argues that while Christian Science has some positive aspects, such as its emphasis on spiritual healing and the power of the mind, it ultimately fails to provide a coherent and consistent worldview. He critiques the movement's rejection of traditional Christian doctrines, such as the Trinity and the physical resurrection of Jesus Christ, and argues that its reliance on subjective experience and personal interpretation can lead to dangerous and misguided beliefs. Overall, ""A New Appraisal of Christian Science"" offers a thoughtful and nuanced analysis of one of the most influential religious movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. While it is critical of Christian Science, it also recognizes the importance of spiritual healing and the search for meaning and purpose in life. The book remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and philosophy of Christian Science, as well as the broader issues of faith, reason, and spirituality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
