Amy B. Voorhees is an independent scholar.
A New Christian Identity will captivate, surprise, and inform
anyone interested in American religious history, women in religion,
and New Thought."--Nova Religio
An excellent study of Mary Baker Eddy, founder of Christian Science
Church. . . . Voorhees has done exceptional work among the archival
and primary sources, including close comparison of the many
editions of Science and Health. This definitive look establishes
Eddy as a major figure in America's faith history."--Publishers
Weekly
The helpful precision that Voorhees achieves in defining Christian
Science identity makes this book a serious scholarly contribution
that will attract the attention of specialists. At the same time,
all scholars of American religious history and religious studies
will find this masterful account of early Christian
Science illuminating, for it beautifully demonstrates how 'the
outliers of American religion' challenge us to view the entire
religious landscape in new ways"--Church History.
