The Church of St. Bunco

The author examines and criticizes the doctrines and history of a metaphysical healing movement, tracing its roots in the New Thought milieu and the influence of an earlier healer, analyzing biographical claims, organizational structures, and published scripture. Chapters dissect metaphysical assertions about matter, mind, space, and time, compare related schools and practitioners, and evaluate alleged cures, martyrdoms, and institutional claims. The critique combines historical investigation and philosophical analysis to challenge the movement's premises and warn readers against uncritical acceptance, concluding with an overview of alternative metaphysical trends and a call for sober judgment.
