About this audiobook
Religious Science - The Fundamental Teachings of Ernest Holmes presents the central metaphysical principles of the Science of Mind tradition: the creative power of thought, the unity of Spirit, spiritual healing, affirmative prayer, and the practical application of divine law in daily life. Written in a lucid, declarative, and sermonic style, the book belongs to the broader context of American New Thought, drawing upon Christian mysticism, Transcendentalism, idealist philosophy, and modern psychology to articulate a religion of inward transformation rather than dogma. Ernest Holmes (1887-1960), founder of the Religious Science movement, was shaped by wide reading in Emerson, Quimby, Thomas Troward, and comparative religion, as well as by the optimistic spiritual experimentation of early twentieth-century America. His work reflects a desire to reconcile faith with reason, devotion with mental discipline, and religious experience with universal spiritual law. This volume is recommended for readers seeking a foundational encounter with New Thought spirituality and its enduring influence. It will especially reward students of modern religion, metaphysical philosophy, and practical spirituality who wish to understand Holmes's vision of a universe responsive to consciousness.
