Among the various religious movements of the 19th century, few have had as widespread an influence as Christian Science, the religious system devised by a fragile little lady named Mary Baker Eddy. Eddy was a religious woman who suffered an injury in the 1860s that led her to found a new church premised, most notably, on the belief that people need not turn to medicine or drugs to heal themselves but simply reach a better understanding of the nature of God.

There are scriptures in the Holy Bible that insist that no one can see the face of God and live. Nevertheless, that same Bible has many accounts of people who at least bore witness to some aspect of God. Even Moses is said to have been allowed to see God’s back, while he “hid in the cleft of a rock.” This book takes note of those historical accounts as well as those entirely outside of the scriptures, such as the stories of later Christian mystics.
