Produced by David Widger from page images generously provided by the Internet Archive "What Is Christian Science?" by M. M. Mangasarian is a critical examination of the beliefs and practices of the Christian Science movement, written in the early 20th century. This work endeavors to dissect and challenge the tenets espoused by Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science, by scrutinizing its theological claims and the implications of its doctrines on personal and societal levels. The text aims to clarify the author's perspectives on the conflicts between Christian Science and established scientific and medical knowledge. The opening of the text engages readers with Mangasarian's skepticism toward Christian Science, setting the tone for a rigorous critique of its principles. He emphasizes the contradictory nature of its doctrines, particularly in relation to health and wellness, questioning the absence of empirical evidence for claims of miraculous healing. The author illustrates his points by referencing Eddy's assertions regarding the mind's influence on the body and the validity of her healing practices. Through a series of thought-provoking arguments, Mangasarian seeks to expose the potential dangers of adopting such beliefs, especially if they lead followers to disregard conventional medical treatments in favor of metaphysical interpretations.
