Materialism Denounced

The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

    Mrs. Eddy’s precious instruction regarding the error and nothingness of materialism is echoed in a 2013 book: “The Experience of God.”

    I do not know if the author, David Bentley Hart, read “Science and Health,” but the formulations by this Orthodox Christian thinker resound with CS expositions on God and man. To wit:

    -Materialists are mad fanatics with an infinite appetite for paradox, whereas as God is the unity of consciousness.

    -God is not merely one, but oneness, the source of everything.

    -God is the one act of being and consciousness.

    -Mind is everywhere.

    -God is both the knower and the known, infinite intelligence and infinite intelligibility.

    -Atheism is another name for radical absurdism. There can be no mechanistic account for consciousness.

    -Soul is the form of the body (Aristotle).

    I am so grateful for Mrs. Eddy’s discovery of Christian Science, as it continues to open and deepen channels of right thinking in the world.
