Christian Science and Organized Religion (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162583471)

""Christian Science and Organized Religion"" is a book written by Hugh A. Studdert-Kennedy that explores the relationship between Christian Science and traditional organized religion. Studdert-Kennedy was a British army chaplain during World War I who became known for his poetry and theological writings. In this book, he argues that Christian Science is not a separate religion, but rather a movement within Christianity that emphasizes healing through prayer and the power of the mind. He also 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. The book provides a thought-provoking analysis of the relationship between faith and healing, and the role of organized religion in promoting spiritual growth.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.
