Sobre IBD

Containing a collection of essays related to Christian Science, a belief system adhered to by members of the Church of Christ, Scientist. Despite taking interest in ideas espoused by Christian Science like mental healing, Twain was highly critical of the church’s founder, Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910), who he believed was using the religion to gain wealth and power for herself.
