Christian Scientists in the Courts
Christianity Case Study – Minority in America 2018 Christian Scientists in the Courts Since independence, Christians have always been a majority of the US population, so it may seem curious to call American Christians a minority. However, some Christians have been rejected by the wider US Christian community and are thus “minoritized”—meaning they are treated as if they do not belong to the majority. Christians from such groups have often claimed they face persecution or hardships. One of these groups is the Christian Scientists. This American born The Mother Church of the Church of Christ, religion began in 1879 in Massachusetts, with Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts.

The Role of Mary Baker Eddy in Christian Science Compared to the Role of Jesus Question: What Kind of Es
The role of Mary Baker Eddy in Christian Science compared to the role of Jesus Question: What kind of esteem is Mary Baker Eddy held in by the Christian Science Church – especially in relation to Jesus himself? In Christian Science churches, the words of both Eddy and Jesus are prominent at the front of the sanctuary – seemingly with an insistence that they be given equal consideration and meditation. Coming from a Catholic background, it is of course wellbred into me that nothing is to be held in higher esteem than Jesus and his teachings. I wonder if you could shed some light on this for me. Response: The question you’ve raised is one that Mary Baker Eddy herself frequently encountered – from critics and even from overzealous admirers – and she was always absolutely adamant in her response. She would have thoroughly agreed with you that “nothing is to be held in higher esteem than Jesus and his teachings.” Although Mary Baker Eddy is honored by Christian Scientists as the Discoverer of Christian Science and Founder of the Church of Christ, Scientist, there is no sense in which she can legitimately be equated with Jesus or seen as superseding him. Rather, she saw herself as having discovered (not originated or invented) the divine law, or Science, which Jesus embodied and by which he healed the sick and sinful. She considered this Science to be the Comforter, the Holy Spirit that Jesus promised “will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you” (John 14:26). -
The Quimby Manuscripts
The Quimby Manuscripts THE QUIMBY MANUSCRIPTS by Phineas Parkhurst Quimby Edited by Horatio W. Dresser New York: Thomas Y. Crowell Company [1921] [Scanned, proofed and formatted by John Bruno Hare at sacred-texts.com, October 2007. This text is in the public domain in the US because it was published prior to 1923. These files may be used for any purpose.] [Typos corrected and formatted for easy reading in PDF 5/15/2009 by [email protected] -- Enjoy!] Publisher’s Note The book as a whole contains an adequate statement of Quimby’s original theory as found in his manuscripts, 1846-65. The volume also contains the writings, hitherto inaccessible, which Mrs. Eddy borrowed during her stay in Portland as Quimby’s patient. The editor is a son of Mrs. Julius A. Dresser, who was the most active of Quimby’s followers at the time Mrs. Eddy was under treatment and who loaned Mrs. Eddy the copybooks which made her acquainted with the Quimby manuscripts. Editor’s Preface to the Second Edition For many years a mass of documents of interest to Christian Scientists and to their critics as well, has been withheld from publication, although earnestly sought. These documents were written by Dr. P. P. Quimby, of Portland, Maine, and contain his views regarding mental and spiritual healing. They be- came familiar to Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy when she visited Dr. Quimby as a patient, and it has been charged by her critics that many of the ideas later promulgated in her teachings were born of the Quimby theories. -

New Religions in Global Perspective
New Religions in Global Perspective New Religions in Global Perspective is a fresh in-depth account of new religious movements, and of new forms of spirituality from a global vantage point. Ranging from North America and Europe to Japan, Latin America, South Asia, Africa and the Caribbean, this book provides students with a complete introduction to NRMs such as Falun Gong, Aum Shinrikyo, the Brahma Kumaris movement, the Ikhwan or Muslim Brotherhood, Sufism, the Engaged Buddhist and Neo-Hindu movements, Messianic Judaism, and African diaspora movements including Rastafarianism. Peter Clarke explores the innovative character of new religious movements, charting their cultural significance and global impact, and how various religious traditions are shaping, rather than displacing, each other’s understanding of notions such as transcendence and faith, good and evil, of the meaning, purpose and function of religion, and of religious belonging. In addition to exploring the responses of governments, churches, the media and general public to new religious movements, Clarke examines the reactions to older, increasingly influential religions, such as Buddhism and Islam, in new geographical and cultural contexts. Taking into account the degree of continuity between old and new religions, each chapter contains not only an account of the rise of the NRMs and new forms of spirituality in a particular region, but also an overview of change in the regions’ mainstream religions. Peter Clarke is Professor Emeritus of the History and Sociology of Religion at King’s College, University of London, and a professorial member of the Faculty of Theology, University of Oxford. Among his publications are (with Peter Byrne) Religion Defined and Explained (1993) and Japanese New Religions: In Global Perspective (ed.) (2000). -
Healing Without Medicine from Pioneers to Modern Practice How Millions Have Been Healed by the Power of the Mind Alone
Excerpt Healing without Medicine From Pioneers to Modern Practice How Millions Have Been Healed by the Power of the Mind Alone By Albert Amao, Ph.D. Taken from Chapter One: Phineas Parkhurst Quimby, Father of the New Thought Movement The contemporary practical philosophical movement called New Thought and the so-called Metaphysical Movement in America started with Phineas Parkhurst Quimby, who is regarded as the father of the New Thought movement on the American continent. Quimby was born on February 16, 1802, in Lebanon, New Hampshire. He was a clockmaker’s apprentice and inventor in New England who attended school for a short period of time; according to Willa Cather and Georgine Milmine, Quimby “spent actually only six weeks in school.” i He was indeed a self-made man with an inquiring and inventive mind. Quimby contracted pulmonary tuberculosis at young age, and his liver and kidneys deteriorated as a result of excessive harmful medicine. As a result he abandoned his business as a clockmaker and retired to his farm expecting to die. Quimby became disillusioned with the medical treatment and gave up any hope of recovery. The following is Quimby’s own description of his health condition, written around 1863: Some thirty years ago I was very sick, and was considered fast wasting away with consumption [tuberculosis]. At that time I became so low that it was with difficulty I could walk about (sic). I was all the while under the allopathic practice, and I had taken so much calomel that my system was said to be poisoned with it; and I lost many of my teeth from that effect. -

Cannon J. Spencer Fluhman Eric A. Eliason Department of History Brigham Young University December 2009 Copyright © 2009 Stanley J. Thayne All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT The Home of Truth: The Metaphysical World of Marie Ogden Stanley J. Thayne Department of History Master of Arts Marie Ogden‘s Home of Truth colony—a religious community that was located in southern Utah during the 1930s and 40s—was part of a segment of the American religious landscape that has largely been overlooked. As such, her movement points to a significant gap in the historiography of American religion. In addition to documenting the history of this obscure community, I situate Marie Ogden as part of what I call the early new age of American religion, an underdeveloped part of the broader categories of metaphysical religion or Western esotericism.
