Christian Science (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

by Mark Twain

Overview

Mark Twain’s fear that Christian Science would control the American government within thirty years persuaded him to write this clever yet cutting piece on Christian Science and its founder Mary Baker Eddy. Twain focuses on the negative aspects of Eddy: her hunger for money and power, her self-dedication, and incoherent writing.
