"Christian Science" by Mark Twain is a humorous critique of the Christian Science religion in the early 1900s. The book humorously examines the ideas and activities of Christian Science and its leader, Mary Baker Eddy. With amusing stories of his own experiences with Christian Science's healing methods, Twain shows how its principles can seem ridiculous, especially when dealing with actual physical problems like injuries. Through comical stories and analysis, Twain questions the idea that pain and sickness are just thoughts, challenging what it means for health and how we see the world.
