Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy
Publication: 1913 Allison V. Stewart; Boston
A beafiful and well preserved copy of Mary Baker Eddy's classic work.
Eddy began writing the work in 1872, and it was published in 1875. She continued to edit and add to it for the rest of her life. The work is considered a spiritual classic and was selected as one of the “75 Books by Women Whose Words Have Changed the World” by the Women’s National Book Association.
The work develops its theology and healing methods in “Science and Health” defining God as “incorporeal, divine, supreme, infinite Mind, Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth, Love.” Eddy viewed Jesus’ healing work as a divinely natural practice that is both repeatable and scientific. According to Stephen Gottschalk, Eddy believed that the healing ministry of Christian Science aimed to awaken Christians to the great promise of restoring the power of the original Gospel.
