Rolling Away the Stone
“Gottschalk distinguishes himself by placing Christian Science in the larger context of American religion . . . sheds new light on Eddy’s life and work.” —Publishers Weekly This richly detailed study highlights the last two decades of the life of Mary Baker Eddy, a prominent religious thinker whose character and achievement are just beginning to be understood. It is the first book-length discussion of Eddy to make full use of the resources of the Mary Baker Eddy Collection in Boston. Rolling Away the Stone focuses on her long-reaching legacy as a Christian thinker, specifically her challenge to the materialism that threatens religious belief and practice. “Gottschalk has provided r...
Gottschalk, Servant of God
These were the Dark Ages, the days of knights and castles and kings and queens, of monasteries, Vikings, and monks. But one monk stood out from all the rest. One monk stood firm for the truth he believed though no one stood with him at all. This is the story of Gottschalk of Orbais, a light of truth in the darkness of his age'a light of truth in ours.
Vereinigung der Freunde des Münzfernglases
In Christian Gottschalks Glossen, Geschichten und Liedern finden Alltagsbeobachtungen, lakonische Jugenderinnerungen, Albernheiten und hingeschluderte Kapitalismuskritik zu einem friedlichen Miteinander. Menschlich großzügig, aber sprachlich eher pingelig, befasst er sich mit Vicky Leandros’ Schlafzimmerblick, Teddybär-Anhängern am Rucksack, mit dem Wunsch nach Sex auf Flugzeugtoiletten oder suizidalen Paarhufern. Und natürlich mit Münzferngläsern. Die Vereinigung der Freunde des Münzfernglases hat bis jetzt allerdings nur vier Mitglieder. Ergreifen Sie die einmalige Gelegenheit und werden Sie Teil dieser überaus freundlichen Bewegung.
Religion, Science, and Empire
Peter Gottschalk offers a compelling study of how, through the British implementation of scientific taxonomy in the subcontinent, Britons and Indians identified an inherent divide between mutually antagonistic religious communities. England's ascent to power coincided with the rise of empirical science as an authoritative way of knowing not only the natural world, but the human one as well. The British scientific passion for classification, combined with the Christian impulse to differentiate people according to religion, led to a designation of Indians as either Hindu or Muslim according to rigidly defined criteria that paralleled classification in botanical and zoological taxonomies. Throu...
A History of Pagan Europe
In this definitive study, Prudence Jones and Nigel Pennick draw together the fragmented sources of Europe's native religions and establish the coherence and continuity of the Pagan world vision. Challenging a traditional, Christian perspective of history, the authors argue that the modern world owes to ancient Paganism its pluralistic tolerance, its love of the arts, and its respect for empirical method. This innovative and comprehensive history of European Paganism will provide a stimulating, reliable guide to this popular dimension of religious culture.

The Emergence of Christian Science in American Religious Life
Christian Science is one of only two indigenous American religions, the other being Mormonism. Yet it has not always been examined seriously within the context of the history of religious ideas and the development of American religious life. Stephen Gottschalk fills this void with an examination of Christian Science’s root concepts—the informing vision and the distinctive mission as formulated by its founder, Mary Baker Eddy. Concentrating on the quarter-century preceding Eddy's death, a period of phenomenal growth for Christian Science, Gottschalk challenges the conventional academic view of the movement as a fringe sect. He finds instead a serious and distinctive, though radical, relig...
