Our New Religion

"Our New Religion" is a compelling and critical examination of the rise of Christian Science in the early twentieth century. Authored by the esteemed historian H. A. L. Fisher, this work provides a rigorous analysis of the movement founded by Mary Baker Eddy, exploring its theological foundations, its rapid expansion, and its psychological appeal to the modern mind. Fisher approaches the subject with the eye of a historian and the skepticism of a rationalist, dissecting the claims of the church and the personality of its leader with scholarly precision.The book delves into the socio-political environment that allowed such a movement to flourish, contrasting the tenets of Christian Science with established religious traditions and the scientific advancements of the era. Through a series of thoughtful essays, Fisher evaluates the movement's impact on contemporary thought and its claims regarding physical and spiritual healing. "Our New Religion" remains a significant historical document, offering insight into the tensions between faith and reason during a period of profound cultural transition.
