Our New Religion

"Our New Religion; An Examination of Christian Science" is a critical and historical analysis of the Christian Science movement and its impact on the religious landscape. Authored by the prominent historian H. A. L. Fisher, this work provides a scholarly investigation into the origins, doctrines, and rapid expansion of the faith founded by Mary Baker Eddy. Fisher explores the psychological and social factors that contributed to the rise of the Church of Christ, Scientist, placing it within the broader context of nineteenth-century American spiritualism and the human quest for divine healing. The book offers a detailed examination of Eddy's life and the philosophical underpinnings of her teachings, scrutinizing the movement's claims and institutional structure. Fisher assesses the appeal of a faith that sought to reconcile science with spiritual practice, while also highlighting the controversies and intellectual challenges it faced during its formative decades. "Our New Religion" serves as a thought-provoking study of how new belief systems capture the public imagination and establish themselves in modern society. It remains an essential text for readers interested in the sociology of religion, the history of theology, and the cultural shifts of the early twentieth century.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
