About This Book

A comprehensive exposition of Christian Science lays out a metaphysical theology and method of spiritual healing, arguing that God is infinite Mind and that sickness and sin stem from mistaken material perception. It blends biblical exegesis with practical guidance: chapters treat prayer, atonement, the Eucharist, opposition to spiritualism, criticism of mesmerism, and the relation of science, theology, and medicine. The work interprets Genesis and Revelation through spiritualized keys, offers a glossary and practice instructions for healers, and emphasizes demonstration of divine Principle through moral living and the consistent application of Truth to overcome error.

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.
