Mary Baker Eddy



Christian Science


Christian Science


First Church of Christ, Scientist


Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910), "founder and discoverer"


Boston, MA, USA


Boston, MA, USA


The Principia


include the Bible (King James Version); Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures; Manual of the Mother Church; No and Yes; Unity of Good; Miscellaneous Writings; Retrospection and Introspection


include Christian Science Monitor, Christian Science Journal, Christian Science Sentinel, Herald of Christian Science, Christian Science Quarterly


Sunday Services from the Mother Church in Boston can be heard on the Internet at www.tfccs.com/bostonactivities/sundayservice.jhtml


Christian Science denies nearly all the central tenets of the historic Christian faith (including the Trinity and deity of Jesus Christ; His bodily resurrection; and salvation by grace through faith). It also affirms that sin, sickness, and death are unreal.


Christian Science strongly discourages its adherents from using conventional medicine to treat illnesses, with the result that a number of them have died painful deaths.


The movement’s membership has been in serious decline for decades. A parallel organization, the Aequus Institute, seeks to promote Mary Baker’s writings apart from the formal Christian Science organization.
