According to the Flesh: A Biography of Mary Baker Eddy is a comprehensive account of the life of the founder of the Christian Science religion, Mary Baker Eddy. The book is written by Fleta Campbell Springer, a Christian Science practitioner and teacher who had access to previously unpublished documents and letters from Eddy's personal archives. The biography traces Eddy's life from her childhood in rural New Hampshire to her rise as a spiritual leader and author of the seminal work Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. It explores her struggles with illness and poverty, her marriages and family life, and her spiritual awakening that led her to develop the principles of Christian Science. The book also delves into the controversies surrounding Eddy's teachings and her leadership of the Church of Christ, Scientist. It examines the legal battles and internal conflicts that threatened to tear the church apart, as well as Eddy's own struggles with power and control. Throughout the biography, Springer provides a nuanced and balanced portrayal of Eddy, acknowledging both her contributions to the spiritual landscape of America and her flaws as a human being. She also offers insights into the enduring legacy of Christian Science and its impact on modern spirituality. Overall, According to the Flesh is a well-researched and engaging biography that sheds new light on the life of one of the most influential religious figures of the 19th and 20th centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
