Publisher's summary

Based on the Bible, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures is the foundational textbook of Christian Science. It explores our relationship with God and the power of prayer in meeting all human needs. Author Mary Baker Eddy shows how the Bible helps us understand and apply the spiritual laws of God in a reliable system of healing.

Science and Health includes chapters on “Prayer,” “Marriage,” “Science, Theology, and Medicine,” and “Christian Science Practice.” The last chapters include personal statements from those who were healed using Science and Health. These healings include heart disease, cancer, cataracts, rheumatism, broken bones, deafness, and more. Even more valued by these listeners was a renewed sense of God’s boundless love and their lives being reformed.

Read andI read and reread and always learn more

I don't like to reread books, but this book, which unlocks the Bible and makes it usable, is one that I study every day. The first chapter is a practical guide on how to pray. The final chapter, Fruitage, is 100 pages of testimonies from people who were healed just by studying this book.

This would be one of my selections if I were on a deserted island and had to choose just five books that I could have.

It is well read. There are a variety of readers so I don't get bored. They have strong analytical reading skills. The vocabulary is not always easy and I've found their pronunciation perfect.

The ultimate source on Christian metaphysical healing.

I have been a Christian Scientist for many years and have been healed a number of times—of debilitating headaches, serious burns on three different occasions and the flu. About two years ago, I was instantaneously healed of a fractured ankle after reading the chapter "Footsteps of Truth" in this wonderful book.

Last night, as I was listening—as it is a book one must give serious study—I was filled with wonder at the love Mary Baker Eddy had for mankind, to write this book and to endure all she did to bring forth her "little book" that those who were ready for its message might benefit from it.

I am well-aware there are many who do not believe that metaphysical healing is possible, but disbelief is of no account to those who have experienced it.

For those put off by the word "Christian", this book—written by a woman who truly lived "love for all"—transcends the perverse brand of Christianity espoused by so many today who clearly have no idea what it really means.

I love the Science and health with key to the scriptures!

Mary Baker Eddy wrote a guide for living life at its fullest and is a spiritual explanation of God’s love for us. A positive explanation of why good is the real and eternal!! If it is not not good it’s not real and didn’t come from God...... faith love and healing is what this book is about... joy

A book for every spiritual seeker.

Mary Baker Eddy elucidates her discovery of the law of life, Christian Science, wonderfully. Her view of God is the highest and most reverent and her logic is sound and irrefutable being based on absolute truth.

The theology I've been looking for

I'm very happy I found this book. well formulated and easy to follow. The kind of God you feel to be true in your heart but not yet described by any other church.

High Law

Here is where we leave the flesh and go with mind into the land of fleshless things. This reading separates the neophyte from the adept. This is no mere dogma or mere unfounded theories dictated by church fathers who have all gone mad and blinded by falsehoods of the blind leading the blind. Just be mindful that if you are to arrive at the throne of knowledge, first bow yourself at her footstool and inform yourself of your own ignorance. The way to her is labor, attention is the pilot that must conduct you into her port. Perception of thyself, the knowledge of Him who created these, the sense of worship you owe unto him, are not these plain before your face, and behold; what is there more that man needeth to know. Know yourself as the pride of His creation, the line uniting divinity with matter...Behold a part of God Himself within you.

Extraordinary !

I just finished S&H again, and now I am starting over back at the beginning. The book is over 110 years old, but the principles within are timeless. It is great reading and even better re-reading.
