Prelude: the world's "leaden weight" -- "O God, is it all!" -- Becoming "Mrs. Eddy" -- By what authority? : on Christian ground -- By what authority? : listening and leading -- Woman goes forth -- "The visible unity of Spirit" -- "The preparation of the heart" -- "Ayont hate's thrall" -- A power, not a place -- "The outflowing life of Christianity" -- "The kingdoms of this world" -- Elijah's mantle -- Coda : the prophetic voice.
Review: "Rolling Away the Stone is a richly detailed account of the last two decades of the life of Mary Baker Eddy, a major religious thinker whose character and achievement are just beginning to be understood. This first book-length discussion of Eddy to make full use of the resources of The Mary Baker Eddy Collection in Boston focuses as no other previous book has on her long-range legacy as a Christian thinker, specifically her challenge to the materialism that - in changing forms - continues to threaten religious belief and practice in our time."--BOOK JACKET.
