Editorial Review Product Description "This highly-readable work traces a set of beliefs about the nature of woman that have informed, and in turn have been reinforced by, science, religion, and philosophy from the classical period to the nineteenth century.... [T]his book's analysis lends support to claims that the gender system affected our very conceptions of science." -- Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences "An important book for the educated general public as well as for scholars in many disciplines. Highly recommended." -- Library Journal "Students and researchers alike will welcome this carefully argued volume that so clearly traces the dominant contours of Western conceptions about women." -- Isis "Nancy Tuana's book is brillant. In under two hundred pages she presents a concise account of how women have been perceived in relation to men in the Western world for the past 2,500 years." -- American Historical Review "A wide-ranging discussion of conceptions of women in science, philosophy and religion from ancient times to the late nineteenth century, Tuana's book makes it devastatingly clear how powerful and how deeply rooted was the Western idea of women as men's inferiors." -- Women's Review of Books "... an unusually readable account of the image of women from the Greeks to the nineteenth century, wedded to a highly interesting argument about the way religion and philosophy affect the direction of the work of scientists, and how the work of scientists is used by philosophers and clergy to give authority to the more abstract world of ideas." -- Magill Book Reviews Provides a framework for understanding the persistence of the Western patriarchal view of woman as inferior. Tuana examines beliefs that were accepted a priori as evidence of women's inferiority and studies early theories of woman's nature to illustrate the way scientific literature, was influenced by -- and in turn affected -- religious and philosophical tenets. |

A New Thought Must
Interesting Account of Ernest Holmes' Life and Times
A Remarkable Story of Remarkable Man I don't usually like biographies, but this book is a great exception to this rule. It is written in a very beautiful way about man who discovered that there is divine power/force within everyone of us... he turned this knowledge into a religious science movement which is currently perhaps the most known division of New Thought movement. The author of this book has a way of nailing your eyes to the book, and you cannot lay it down until you have finished. The author will walk you through the good and bad, joys and sorrows...and will show you how Ernest stood erect for the truth and did not waiver or give up even when met with resistance. So the book tells you a story of man who knew what needed to be done and then did it. Ernest's sincere desire was to help his fellow human beings to lead a balanced life spiritually, socially, occupationally and financially. He wrote many great books which have changed lives of millions. In my opinion, the best thing that this book accomplishes is that it will enlighten your understanding of what Religious Science is truly all about. If you have any uncertainities or feel like Religious Science is a shady movement, then reading this book will show you how much love and good things there are about the father of this organization. The best biography I have ever read...written by a person who is Ernest's associate and a long-time friend.
Fascinating account of a man and a religious movement |
30. Christian Science on Trial: Religious Healing in America (Medicine, Science, and Religion in Historical Context) by Rennie B. Schoepflin | |

list price: US$46.00 -- used & new: US$24.93 (price subject to change: see help) Asin: 0801870577 Average Customer Review: Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan | |
Editorial Review Product Description Physicians exhibited an anxiety and tenacity to trivialize and control Christian Scientists whichindicates a lack of confidence among the turn-of-the-century medical profession about whocontrolled American health care. The limited authority of the medical community becomes evenclearer through Schoepflin's examination of the pitched battles fought by physicians andChristian Scientists in America's courtrooms and legislative halls over the legality of ChristianScience healing. While the issues of medical licensing, the meaning of medical practice, and thesupposed right of Americans to therapeutic choice dominated early debates, later confrontationssaw the legal issues shift to matters of contagious disease, public safety, and children's rights.Throughout, Christian Scientists revealed their ambiguous status as medical practitioners andreligious healers. The 1920s witnessed an unsteady truce between American medicine and Christian Science. Theambivalence of many Americans about the practice of religious healing persisted, however. InChristian Science on Trial we gain a helpful historical context for understandinglate–twentieth-century public debates over children's rights, parental responsibility, and theauthority of modern medicine.

The Reality of Christian Science in the Real World I have wondered for a long time why Eddy florished and what the early conflicts between medicine and Christian Science (faith healing, New Thought)were. Rennie Schoepflin includes a lot of fresh material and clearly explains the so called "healing" practices of Christian Science Practitioners. To my knowledge this is the only book available that deals with this subject. Christian Science on Trial is well written, and not another biography of Eddy and Christian Science. The author documents court cases that I have not read elsewhere. If you read only one book about Eddy this is destined to be a classic. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description Organized into three major topics, the articles in this volume delve into this urgent topic of our day and offer valuable insights in the following areas: I. Broad Perspectives – Providing a solid foundation, this opening section lays the groundwork for clarifying this complex issue. II. Region and Religion – The papers in this section point to the importance of regional history and culture in shaping differing styles of pluralism within America. III. Minority & Immigrant Experiences – Focusing on contemporary immigrant and minority groups in the United States, these articles reflect on the experiences of Muslims, Orthodox Jews, and Latino religions as well as the role of interfaith leaders in the 2005/2006 immigration reform debate. IV. Institutional Patterns – Examining creative ways that pluralism is flourishing within the United States, these articles provide a framework for future interfaith dialog. Social scientists, religious scholars, policy makers, and the informed public will find this volume of The ANNALS to be a valuable resource that distills this complex and sometimes cloudy issue of religious pluralism. |

Editorial Review Product Description DO YOU BELIEVE? Gerald Schroeder, an MIT-trained scientist who has worked in both physics and biology, has emerged in recent years as one of the most popular and accessible apostles for the melding of science and religion. He first reconciled science and faith as different perspectives on a single whole in The Science of God. Now, in The Hidden Face of God, Schroeder takes a bold step forward, to show that science, properly understood, provides positive reasons for faith. From the wisdom encoded in DNA and analyzed by information science, to the wisdom unveiled in the fantastic complexity of cellular life, to the wisdom inherent in human consciousness, The Hidden Face of God offers a tour of the best of modern science. This fascinating volume will open a world of science to religious believers, and it will cause skeptics to rethink some of their deepest beliefs. Customer Reviews (50)

38. Animal Sacrifices: Religious Perspectives on the Uses of Animals in Science (Ethics and Action) | |
Paperback: 270
Pages
(1986-06)
list price: US$34.95 Isbn: 0877224110 Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan | |
Editorial Review Product Description Scriptural writings, written and oral tradition, law, religious parables, and even folklore are used to illustrate the position of each religion on this question. When there are no specific teachings regarding the relatively recent use of animals in scientific research, conclusions are derived from the view of man’s relations with the rest of the world. In addition to the essays dealing with specific religions, there is also a chapter detailing recent uses of animals in scientific research throughout the world. It is estimated that 500 million animals a year are sacrificed to science. This volume attempts to find out for what purposes they are used, under what conditions, and with what legal protection. Based on a conference which explored the views of religion toward scientific experimentation on animals, this collection of essays addresses an explosive issue from a number of different perspectives. Animal Sacrifices is a fair-minded and informative discussion of a contemporary ethical dilemma. |
