Christian Science is a 1907 book by the American writer Mark Twain (1835-1910). The book is a collection of essays Twain wrote about Christian Science beginning with an article that was published in Cosmopolitan in 1899. Although Twain was interested in mental healing and the ideas behind Christian Science he was hostile towards its founder Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910). Twain's first article about Christian Science was published in Cosmopolitan in 1899. A humorous work of fiction it describes how he fell over a cliff while walking in Austria breaking several bones. A Christian Science practitioner who lived nearby was sent for but could not attend immediately and so undertook to provide an absent healing.
