About This Book

A collection of sermons, addresses, and newspaper excerpts gathers the author's statements and reflections on the founding and growth of Christian Science over several decades. It includes a dedicatory sermon, textbook excerpts, hymns, and press clippings that argue for spiritual healing, the primacy of Mind (God) over matter, and the idea of an eternal, divine temple within individuals. Emphases include reliance on divine Love, metaphysical methods of healing and moral reform, community building through church institutions, and guidance for readers to cultivate a scientific spiritual understanding that dispels fear and suffering.

About the Author

Mary Baker Eddy

Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910) was an American religious leader and the founder of Christian Science, a spiritual movement that emphasizes healing through prayer and the study of the Bible. She is best known for her seminal work, "Science and Health, with Key to the Scriptures," which outlines her theological principles and healing practices. Eddy's writings, including "Miscellaneous Writings" and "Retrospection and Introspection," reflect her deep engagement with spirituality and metaphysics. Her influence extended beyond religion, impacting health and wellness practices in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Eddy's legacy continues to shape discussions on faith, healing, and the relationship between mind and body.
