Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Christian Science on Trial, historian Rennie B. Schoepflin shows how Christian Science healing became a viable alternative to medicine at the end of the nineteenth century. Christian Scientists did not simply evangelize for their religious beliefs; they engaged in a healing business that offered a therapeutic alternative to many patients for whom medicine had proven unsatisfactory. Tracing the evolution of Christian Science during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Christian Science on Trial illuminates the movement's struggle for existence against the efforts of organized American medicine to curtail its activities. Physicians exhibited an anxiety and tenacity to trivialize and control Christian Scientists which indicates a lack of confidence among the turn-of-the-century medical profession about who controlled American health care. The limited authority of the medical community becomes even clearer through Schoepflin's examination of the pitched battles fought by physicians and Christian Scientists in America's courtrooms and legislative halls over the legality of Christian Science healing. While the issues of medical licensing, the meaning of medical practice, and the supposed right of Americans to therapeutic choice dominated early debates, later confrontations saw the legal issues shift to matters of contagious disease, public safety, and children's rights. Throughout, Christian Scientists revealed their ambiguous status as medical practitioners and religious healers. The 1920s witnessed an unsteady truce between American medicine and Christian Science. The ambivalence of many Americans about the practice of religious healing persisted, however. In Christian Science on Trial we gain a helpful historical context for understanding late–twentieth-century public debates over children's rights, parental responsibility, and the authority of modern medicine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Mexicans and Americans joined together to transform the U.S.-Mexico borderlands into a crossroads of modern economic development. This book reveals the forgotten story of their ambitious dreams and their ultimate failure to control this fugitive terrain. Focusing on a mining region that spilled across the Arizona-Sonora border, this book shows how entrepreneurs, corporations, and statesmen tried to domesticate nature and society within a transnational context. Efforts to tame a 'wild' frontier were stymied by labour struggles, social conflict, and revolution. Fugitive Landscapes explores the making and unmaking of the U.S.-Mexico border, telling how ordinary people resisted the domination of empires, nations, and corporations to shape transnational history on their own terms. By moving beyond traditional national narratives, it offers new lessons for our own border-crossing age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive history of the concept of freedom of therapeutic choice in the United States that presents a compelling look at how persistent but evolving notions of a right to therapeutic choice have affected American policy and law from the Revolution through the Trump Era. Throughout American history, lawmakers have limited the range of treatments available to patients, often with the backing of the medical establishment. The country's history is also, however, brimming with social movements that have condemned such restrictions as violations of fundamental American liberties. This fierce conflict is one of the defining features of the social history of medicine in the United States. In Choose Your Medicine, Lewis A. Grossman presents a compelling look at how persistent but evolving notions of a right to therapeutic choice have affected American health policy, law, and regulation from the Revolution through the Trump Era. Grossman grounds his analysis in historical examples ranging from unschooled supporters of botanical medicine in the early nineteenth century to sophisticated cancer patient advocacy groups in the twenty-first. He vividly describes how activists and lawyers have resisted a wide variety of legal constraints on therapeutic choice, including medical licensing statutes, FDA limitations on unapproved drugs and alternative remedies, abortion restrictions, and prohibitions against medical marijuana and physician-assisted suicide. Grossman also considers the relationship between these campaigns for desired treatments and widespread opposition to state-compelled health measures such as vaccines and face masks. From the streets of San Francisco to the US Supreme Court, Choose Your Medicine examines an underexplored theme of American history, politics, and law that is more relevant today than ever.

Section 4.?The Christian Science Doctrine of the Human Mind, or Mortal Mind. We arrive here, in Mortal Mind, at what may be called the great invention or discovery of Christian Science. Here is its claim to originality, to the presentation of novelty. We shall see by and by how far we can attach value to it as a psychological discovery. Meantime we must try to find out exactly what is meant by it. This is no easy task, for the language which we have already found to be loose, and the logic which we have already seen to be inconsistent, are particularly at fault when Mortal Mind is in question. But we will do our utmost to arrive at a clear understanding. To begin with, we have had Matter described in terms of Mortal Mind; now we have the opposite, Mortal Mind defined in terms of Matter, or that particular form of it called Flesh, and so far we do not find that we have made any advance. The author, 8. Mrs Eddy says, calls sick and sinful humanity mortal mind?meaning, by this term, the Flesh opposed to Spirit She admits that the term is a solecism in language, and involves an improper use of the word mind. As Mind is immortal she says, the phrase mortal mind implies something untrue and therefore unreal, and as the phrase is used in Christian Science, it is meant to designate something which has no real existence It is unfortunate that as Mrs Eddy is very emphatic about the reality of Mind, and is equally emphatic in denying reality to Mortal Mind, that she calls this latter Mind. It is true that it is very difficult, as she says, to know what else to call this mysterious nothing, but above all things any word ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uncovers Mary Baker Eddys skill in seizing upon images of comparison to clarify her religious perspectives. Metaphors reveal her knowledge of nature and the arts, war and courtrooms, cities and towns, the home and farm environment, and the modern inventions of her day, nineteenth century America. What did Jesus, among others, and Mary Baker Eddy, see in teaching by parable, allegory, and metaphor? This book is not a biography, but sheds light on Eddy as a person you will want to get to know. Seeing her through her metaphors will complement the insights that the biographies supply. This book will renew your appreciation of metaphors which use objects, persons, and places to convey spiritual ideas, moving us from known specifics to unknown abstractions. Jesus chose language specifically targeting his audience, the likes of farmers, shepherds, and fishermen. Eddy in turn targeted her audience of consumers and merchants. All her symbols were well known in the nineteenth century. The excerpts are drawn from the Bible, Eddys writings, and the Christian Science Hymnal. As author and compiler, I am sure you will gain much from the read. What a treat!

This book was released on 2019-08-01 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing upon a diverse range of archival evidence, medical treatises, religious texts, public discourses, and legal documents, this book examines the rich historical context in which controversies surrounding the medical neglect of children erupted onto the American scene. It argues that several nineteenth-century developments collided to produce the first criminal prosecutions of parents who rejected medical attendance as a tenet of their religious faith. A view of children as distinct biological beings with particularized needs for physical care had engendered both the new medical practice field of pediatrics and a vigorous child welfare movement that forced legislatures and courts to reconsider public and private responsibility for ensuring children’s physical well-being. At the same time, a number of healing religions had emerged to challenge the growing authority of medical doctors and the appropriate role of the state in the realm of child welfare. The rapid proliferation of the new healing churches, and the mixed outcomes of parents’ criminal trials, reflected ongoing uneasiness about the increasing presence of science in American life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the well-known Scopes “Monkey Trial” of 1925, famously portrayed in the film and play Inherit the Wind, William Jennings Bryan’s fundamentalist fervor clashed with defense attorney Clarence Darrow’s aggressive agnosticism, illustrating what current scholars call the conflict thesis. It appeared, regardless of the actual legal question of the trial, that Christianity and science were at war with each other. Decades later, a new generation of evangelical scientists struggled to restore peace. After the Monkey Trial is the compelling history of those evangelical scientists in Britain and America who, unlike their fundamentalist cousins, supported mainstream scientific conclusions of the world and resisted the anti-science impulses of the era. This book focuses on two organizations, the American Scientific Affiliation and the Research Scientists’ Christian Fellowship (today Christians in Science), who for more than six decades have worked to reshape the evangelical engagement with science and redefine what it means to be a creationist.

At this hearing Mrs. Stetson was present in person and was confronted by one witness, Mrs. Maude Kissam Babcock, who was examined in Mrs. Stetson's presence by the Directors and was cross-examined by Mrs. Stetson herself. The result was the refutation of the testimony as originally given by Mrs. Babcock, and the receipt of a telegram by Mrs. Stetson from the Directors reading: August 3, 1909, Boston, Mass. Mrs. Augusta E. Stetson, i W. 96 St., N.Y. Charges against you dismissed. Will write ctailfea dis. more fully later. missed (Signed) J. V. Dittemore, Sec'y. Aufust3 In September, 1909, twenty-five members of First Church of Christ, Scientist, New York City, were summoned to a Conference, so-called, and questioned by the Directors. At this inquiry Mrs. Stetson wasnot present nor represented, and in fact was not even advised that she and her teaching were the subject of investigation. No provision was made for counsel to represent either Mrs. Stetson hew in her or the practitioners who had been called for absence ' conference but who were instead treated as witnesses.
