About this book
The discussion says that modern religious cults and movements mostly accept generally held standards of Christian conduct, while beginning to develop ethical standards of their own. The account treats dissatisfaction with oneself, consciousness of moral fault, and the need for forgiveness and deliverance as more persistent concerns than the soul's loneliness.
The treatment of Mrs. Eddy places her writing against a somber theology and a medical practice that relied heavily on drugs while remaining too largely experimental. The account describes a fairly constant interweaving of the denial of evil and the affirmation of well-being in the book under discussion. The discussion asks whether such cults will displace historic forms of Christianity, substantially modify them, or wear away and be reabsorbed.
