Résumé

Résumé : Christian Science is a religion founded by Mary Baker Eddy in the United States during the 19th century. Mark Twain, whose real name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens, was a well-known American writer and humorist during the same period. While Mark Twain is often remembered for his satirical and critical views on religion, including Christian Science, he was not a proponent of the faith. In fact, he expressed skepticism and criticism of Christian Science and its teachings. Mark Twain's most well-known work that addresses Christian Science is a short story titled "Christian Science," published in 1907. In this story, Twain humorously and satirically critiques the beliefs and practices of Christian Science. He portrays a character who becomes enamored with the faith and its healing powers but ultimately encounters absurd and comical situations in his attempts to apply its principles. Mark Twain's views on religion, including his critiques of Christian Science, were often rooted in his skepticism and his penchant for using humor and satire to comment on various aspects of society. "Christian Science" is just one example of his satirical take on religious beliefs and practices. It's important to note that Mark Twain's writings on Christian Science were not a reflection of support for the religion but rather a form of commentary and critique, in line with his larger body of work known for its social commentary and humor.
