Rolling Away the Stone: Mary Baker Eddy's Challenge to Materialism (Religion in North America)
by Stephen Gottschalk
from Indiana University Press
Rolling Away the Stone is a richly detailed account of the last two decades of the life of Mary Baker Eddy, a major religious thinker whose character and achievement are just beginning to be understood. This is the first book-length discussion of Eddy to make full use of the resources of the Mary Baker Eddy Collection in Boston. It focuses on her long-range legacy as a Christian thinker, specifically her challenge to the materialism that continues to threaten religious belief and practice in our time.
Hoping to retire in 1889 after seven turbulent years founding the Christian Science movement, Eddy believed the demands upon her would ease. Instead, during the 1890s and 1900s, she entered into the most active and fruitful period of her long life, becoming a nationally and even internationally known figure. The radical character of Eddy's teaching, together with her position as a woman religious leader in a male-dominated society, aroused storm clouds of controversy that have continued to swirl around her memory today. The book opens with an account of the critical point in this controversy when her very sanity was challenged in a litigation that became one of the first media events of the 20th century.
Stephen Gottschalk also traces the fascinating relation between Eddy's encounter with the problem of evil in the first half of her life and how Mark Twain, her best-known adversary, faced the same issue during his later years. Gottschalk then explores how Eddy's challenge to materialism shaped her response to a series of crises that arose as she brought her life's work to completion. This is a sensitive and serious biography of an important figure in American religious history.

Science and Faith: An Evangelical Dialogue
by Harry Lee Poe

In an effort to address the tension between the basic tenets of the Christian faith and the basic doctrines of current scientific theory, Poe and Davis present a non-threatening way for Christians to examine their presuppositions about their faith and their views on science. Five basic questions are cross-referenced with five basic but major Christian faith affirmations of the Gospel to produce a worldview that is inherently Christian but not threatened by the scientific advancements being made every day.

The Religion That Kills: Christian Science: Abuse, Neglect, and Mind Control
by Linda S. Kramer
from Bookworld Services
Christian Scientists are trapped in a mindset that twists their perception of reality, teaches them to mistrust their physical senses, and short-circuits their ability to make informed, reasoned decisions regarding healthcare.
The Religion That Kills examines how people become ensnared in Christian Science and discusses how this religion can affect them emotionally, physically, and spiritually. The book also discusses Mary Baker Eddy - the founder of Christian Science - in terms of her leadership style, her claim to divine revelation, and her misuse of both secular and biblical language.
The Religion That Kills is a tool for recovering from the negative effects of Christian Science, for understanding Christian Science logic and terminology, for helping Christian Scientists objectively evaluate their religion, and for discussing biblical issues with Christian Scientists.
