CHRISTIAN SCIENCE AND ORGANIZED RELIGION: A PLEA FOR AN IMPARTIAL CONSIDERATION AND THE EXAMINATION OF A NEW POINT OF VIEW
Book Details + Condition: The Farallon Press (San Francisco, CA ). Second Edition, 1930. Hardcover. 335 pages. Author Hugh A. Studdert-Kennedy explores the relationship between Christian Science and traditional organized religion. He asserts that the Christian Science Movement is not a separate religion, but rather a movement within Christianity that emphasizes healing through prayer, and the power of the mind. He critiques traditional organized religion for its emphasis on ritual and dogma, rather than personal spiritual experience. Studdert-Kennedy's perspective is informed by his own experiences as a Christian minister and his interactions with Christian Scientists.
