Exploring the Influence of Religion and Media in 19th-Century America

Beschreibung

In "Pulpit and Press," Mary Baker Eddy presents a profound exploration of the relationship between spirituality and healing, as illustrated through her unique interpretation of Christian Science. The book is a blend of personal testimony, theological discourse, and practical guidance, written in a clear and accessible style that reflects her fervent spirituality and innovative thinking. Through a series of essays and lectures, Eddy articulates the power of divine Mind in overcoming human challenges, establishing a literary context that intersects with the New Thought movement and broader 19th-century reformist ideals. Mary Baker Eddy, a pioneering religious leader and the founder of Christian Science, wrote "Pulpit and Press" during a time of personal struggle and societal upheaval. Her experiences with illness and the limitations of traditional medicine propelled her toward a spiritual understanding of health and wellness, which she meticulously documented in her works. This book serves not only as a doctrinal guide but also as a reflection of Eddy's life mission to promote healing and spiritual enlightenment amidst adversity. "Pulpit and Press" is essential for anyone interested in the intersections of religion, philosophy, and health. It challenges readers to reconsider the nature of spiritual authority and the efficacy of faith in the healing process, making it a vital read for both scholars of religious studies and individuals seeking solace and understanding through spirituality.

Autor

Mary Baker Eddy was an American religious leader and author. She was born on July 16, 1821, and died on December 3, 1910. In 1879, she started The Church of Christ, Scientist, in New England. She also started The Christian Science Monitor in 1908, as well as the Christian Science Sentinel, The Christian Science Journal, and The Herald of Christian Science, which are all religious magazines. She wrote many books and papers, but Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures and Manual of The Mother Church are the most well-known. The Prose Works Other than Science and Health is a collection of works that were edited after the author died. Mary Morse Baker was born on July 16, 1821, in a farm house in Bow, New Hampshire. Her parents were Mark Baker, a farmer who died in 1865, and Abigail Barnard Baker, formerly Ambrose, who died in 1849. People say that Eddy and her father had a tense relationship. Ernest Sutherland Bates and John V. Dittemore wrote in 1932 that Mark Baker tried to break Eddy's will with hard punishments, but that Eddy's mother often stepped in. Unlike Mark Baker, Eddy's mother was described as religious, quiet, light-hearted, and kind.
