Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures

1875

Mary Baker Eddy

Eddy was the founder of Christian Science and spiritual healing.

Key Points:

Eddy reframes disease as rooted primarily in mistaken beliefs and fear rather than in material malfunction alone.
Spiritual understanding and right thinking are presented as the most powerful means of healing, sometimes eclipsing or replacing conventional medicine.
The book offers a metaphysical reading of the Bible, positioning Christian Science as a recovery of Jesus’s healing method rather than a new religion.
It sharply criticizes medical materialism for treating bodies as machines and ignoring consciousness and spirit.
Health becomes a visible sign of alignment with divine truth, tying theology, psychology, and physical well‑being together.
