Pride of Carthage

I just finished Pride of Carthage by David Anthony Durham. The book is historical fiction and Durham does a wonderful job of bringing the families of these soldiers to life. It’s richly written ... probably one of the best books I have read in a long while. It brings the horrors of war to life both from a soldier’s perspective, from a general’s perspective, and from the families-waiting-anxiously-at-home perspective. Wow!

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
