This new series examines the lives of people who have had a major impact on the history or current practice of religion. Individuals profiled include clergy of diverse faiths as well as lay people who have had a profound intellectual influence on religious and philosophical thought. After making a miraculous recovery from a terrible injury, Mary Baker Eddy devoted her life to developing her own system of faith. Always a controversial figure, Eddy is remembered for the Church of Christ, Scientist, that she created, which still exists--with a large number of adherents worldwide--today.
