About this ebook
Complete and unabridged, with 58 full-page plates by Sanford Robinson Gifford, Robert Seldon Duncanson and George Inness. A minister's son falls ill, the doctors fail, and the family is brought to Christian Science — a novel written to demonstrate the doctrine rather than to entertain. Walter put the teaching into fiction and sold his books through the movement's own channels. Read it as what it is: a primary document of how a new American religion argued its case to ordinary readers at the turn of the century. Fifty-eight plates of houses, homes, and landscapes from 1838 to 1912 by painters including Eastman Johnson and Edvard Munch answer the novel's central question of where healing and belonging are actually found.
