George Barton Cutten’s Three Thousand Years of Mental Healing surveys the long history of healing through suggestion, faith, and the mind, from ancient temple medicine to the religious and psychological movements of the early twentieth century. Cutten examines miracle cures, shrines, relics, and the rise of mental and spiritual therapeutics.
Writing as both scholar and skeptic, Cutten traces the interplay of religion, psychology, and medicine across cultures and centuries, paying special attention to Christian healing traditions and the era of Christian Science and New Thought. The book remains a thoughtful study in the history of belief and the mind. This free EPUB edition is formatted for any device.
