This Is How It's Done, July 20 2006
By Chris Ward - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Oxford Mark Twain: Christian Science (1907) (Paperback)
Twain amusingly eviscerates Mary Baker Eddy and her religion in this still-amusing book. A century later, his deft skewering of religious foibles and fantasies still delights. Would that he could see the world of today: Christian Science still exists, though in a much shrunken form, and hundreds (thousands!) of equally improbable cults thrive alongside it.Where's Twain now that we really need him??
