词汇 eddyism
词源
Eddyism. Eddyism, a synonym for Christian Science, honors its founder, Mary Baker Eddy (1821–1910). Though she lived to be nearly 90, Mrs. Eddy was plagued all her life by illness and unhappiness. Married three times, her first marriage was ended by her husband’s death and the second by divorce. A serious accident in 1866 turned her to the Bible. The story in Matthew of Jesus healing the paralyzed man brought her the spiritual enlightenment she attributed to her discovery of Christian Sci- ence. “The Bible was my textbook,” she once wrote. “It answered my questions as to how I was healed, but the Scriptures had to me a new meaning . . . I apprehended for the first time . . . Je- sus’ teaching and demonstration, and the Principle and rule of spiritual Science and metaphysical healing—in a word, Chris- tian Science.” Before this, however, Mrs. Eddy had been treated by Phineas P. Quimby, a faith healer of Portland, Maine, and his influence may be reflected in her work. An indefatigable worker, she remained the leader of the movement until her death. In 1908 she established the famous international news- paper, The Christian Science Monitor.
