"In this study of Christian Science and the culture in which it arose, Amy B. Voorhees emphasizes Mary Baker Eddy's foundational religious text, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, rather than Eddy's already well known biography.

Viewing the material world as illusory and sickness as a state that can be corrected by prayer, Christian Science emerged as an anti-mesmeric, millennialist form of Christianity that interpreted the Bible and approached emerging modern medicine on its own terms"--
