Faith on Trial: Mary Baker Eddy, Christian Science and the First Amendment

By Peter A. Wallner

The First Amendment was on trial in Concord, N.H., when Mary Baker Eddy's son and adopted son attempted to take possession of her person and wealth in the early 1900s. The sensational case became a heresy trial as Eddy's religious views and the doctrine of Christian Science became the basis of the plaintiff's charge that Eddy was insane. It was this case that sparked the creation of today's Christian Science Monitor.
