Shownotes

Christian Science has been around for a while, but what is it exactly? In this week's episode, we explore the shared history between Mind Science and Christian Science as Apologetics 201 continues. We look at what makes Christian Science "Christian" and "Scientific" especially with how it understands the concept of atonement. I talk about the similarities Christian Science shares with Scientology and Gnosticism, and how it is unique from other forms of new religious movements. I also follow the red line and comment how Mind Science has infiltrated the business world and has become an idol in culture and among Christians is the form of Mindset Coaching.
