Description: American Artists Editions CHRISTIAN SCIENCE ••• By MARK TWAIN Harper & Brothers New York 1924 New York, 1924. Very Good, no jacket. Illustrated. Christian Science was originally published in 1907. The book is a collection of essays Twain wrote about Christian Science, beginning with an article that was published in Cosmopolitan in 1899. Although Twain was interested in mental healing and the ideas behind Christian Science, he was hostile towards its founder, Mary Baker Eddy. Historian L. Ashley Squires wrote that "While some readers have taken Twain’s hostility toward Mary Baker Eddy as sort of the default rational response to something like Christian Science, confusion frequently arises from what appear to be contradictions in Twain’s stated positions. On the one hand, Twain accepted many of Christian Science’s healing claims and frequently expressed admiration for Eddy, but on the other hand, he was prone to making pronouncements about the threat that the movement and its leader posed to American democracy. This tension between Christian Science as a potentially effective healing system (though not for all ailments) and Christian Science as apocalyptic threat is challenging to reconcile.” Tight, clean unmarked pages.
