Twice Born and the Power of Mental Healing
Baltimore based medical professor Dr. Llewellyn Barker argues that Christian Science and mental healing often succeed where medicine fails. He contrasts the once born who stay buoyant with minimal worry against the twice born who dwell on evil, citing Emerson Hale Whitman and Stevenson. He notes various religious movements, the mind care trend, and Talstoy Bunyan conversions as context for deliverance through a second birth.
