"A book introduces new thoughts, but it cannot make sure they are speedily understood. It's the task of the strong pioneer to hew the tall oak also to cut the difficult granite. Future age ranges must declare the particular pioneer has accomplished." (Mary Baker Eddy) Among the many religious motions of the 19th century, few experienced as common an impact as Christian Technology, the religious system devised with a fragile little lady called Mary Baker Eddy. Eddy was a religious woman who endured a personal injury in the 1860s that led her to found a fresh church premised, most notably, on the perception that people do not need to turn to drugs or drugs to heal themselves but merely reach a much better understanding of the nature of God. Right before founding this new church, Eddy publicized her movement's seminal word,
Technology and Health with Key to the Scriptures (1875), which laid out her expansive views about Christianity and the metaphysical reasons why she believed that people could overcome disease without relying on manmade technology. In place, since sin, disease, and death aren't God's making, men could also shed them by becoming closer to God. Furthermore to founding her church and authoring that seminal book, Eddy composed voluminously over the coming decades, assisting establish both the
Christian Technology Journal and, most famously, the
Christian Science Screen. Not surprisingly, Eddy's religious teachings were controversial, but so was the girl herself.
