Christian Science and Eschatology
There are some similarities between Eschatology, Christian Science and other metaphysical systems.

Since Eschatology resulted, specifically, from a schism from Christian Science certain metaphysical doctrines are shared by the two groups, though there are doctrinal differences as well.
