What one reviewer said about Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures (W.M.B.E.) by Mary Baker Eddy:
This book is worth reading just for you to laugh at. That is what Mark Twain did; he wrote a book called "Christian Science," which you might be able to find in your library.... This book should never have been the basis of a religion. If it was just a book it could have been more useful; but people totally screwed it up by turning it into a religion, and it has been resposible for a lot of agony, which must sadden God a lot.
What one reviewer said about Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures (W.M.B.E.) by Mary Baker Eddy:
I feel impelled to add to these thoughtful reviews. After the sincere efforts of doctors who could not find a cure for me I was healed in Christian Science as taught in full in this book. This non-denominational, essentially universal truth is fully explained in this book and when read with a critical but sincere effort will help the reader on many levels. As the author has explained, the religions of our age have dropped the effectiveness of God to heal sickness, retaining the traditional view of God's power to reduce only sin. Do we wish to worship and adore a God that is powerful in one instance yet powerless in the other? Healing in Christian Science is not based on blind faith, but rather on a new, enlightened way of seeing the world. Though many come to this book seeking physical healing, this book's primary purpose is to enable the reader to open up to a higher ideal of God and man's relationship to his Heavenly Father-Mother God. I realize that if one desires one can pick out isolated cases where an individual under the care of Christian Science died and therefore judge it unsafe. But in all fairness how many people die annually under the care of the medical facilities? How many illnesses and diseases are termed incurable by the medical institution? Things valuable come with a great price. The author, Mary Baker Eddy, in other writings, speaks of the price she paid to give this book to the world. If the reader needs comfort in what others have thought of this teaching/book one should seek out what Einstein, Bronson Alcott, Walt Whitman, and later in his life, Mark Twain, said about Mrs. Eddy, her discovery and her book.
