In the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy explains the scientific laws behind the teachings and healings of Christ Jesus. From the first chapter, "Prayer", to her exegesis of Genesis and Revelation, to a Glossary of biblical terms, the author invites readers to deeply consider the allness of God, the perfection of man as God's spiritual creation, and how an understanding of these facts can free one from sin, disease, and death just as they did in biblical times.

Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910) was an influential American author, teacher, and religious leader. She is noted for her groundbreaking ideas about spirituality and healing, which she based on the Bible, particularly Christ Jesus' words and works. This system of healing, which she denominated Christian Science, puts into action all that she learned from her Bible study. Her ideas are fully articulated in her major work, the best-seller Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, first published in 1875. In 1879, she founded the Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, which today has branch churches and societies around the world. She established her church "to commemorate the word and works of our Master, which should reinstate primitive Christianity and its lost element of healing." In 1908 she launched The Christian Science Monitor, a leading international newspaper, the recipient, to date, of seven Pulitzer Prizes. At her passing, hundreds of tributes appeared in newspapers around the world, including The Boston Globe, which wrote, "She did a wonderful an extraordinary work in the world and there is no doubt that she was a powerful influence for good."

Paperback. Condition: Fair. From Publishers Intro: So, why a reprint of a book over 135 years old when there are so many reprints and new editions of the text? Excellent question and one I will endeavor to answer here. Since it is our goal to find and reprint spiritual classics on the verge of falling into the vast abyss, we came upon reference to this work while reading Lifting the Veil by Lillian Dewaters, and the following is quoted verbatim from The Sickle by William W. Walter, during a discussion on the understanding of Christian Science, excerpted from pages 127-129, 1918 edition. Recently there has arisen a misunderstanding among the students of Christian Science, regarding the correctness of the early editions of Science and Health, with key to the Scriptures. Some maintain that merely reading the early editions once gave them a much greater depth of understanding, and consequently greater healing power than years of study spent upon the later editions. Others maintain that Christian Science, in its complete purity, is not to be found in the early editions, and further state that Mrs. Eddy later repudiated these early editions as being incorrect in Principle. Mrs. Eddy's own words ought to be the best authority on this question. She wrote, page 55, Retrospection and Introspection, under the chapter heading of The Precious Volume-The first edition of my most important work, Science and Health, containing the complete statement of Christian Science, the term employed by me to express the Divine, or spiritual Science of Mind-healing was published in 1875. The statement, the first edition of my most important work, Science and Health, containing the complete statement of Christian Science'' was undoubtedly written in 1891, or sixteen years after: the publishing of the first edition. Thus we see that after sixteen years of teaching, writing and practice Mrs. Eddy still maintained that the first edition was The Precious Volume and the one that contained the complete statement of Christian Science A Gnostic Audio Selection, includes free access to streaming audio book.
