This book tells the story of controversial research linking Christianity and the natural sciences on an experimental level, describing repeatable experiments who demonstrate the power of prayer and distinguish the action of holy thought from the placebo effect. Qualitative Research: The Early Years also describes the Christian Science background out of which the experiments came, the controversies which arose with the Christian Science church when the tests, reaching far beyond denominational concerns to universal Christian outlooks, were rejected by the Christian Science church. The only book containing data and the full experimental record of the new research - a unique resource for the cleric, scholar or layman.
