Mary Baker Eddy is the famous discoverer and founder of the Christian Science religion. When she passed in 1910, she was one of the most influential women in the world. Back in her day, women could not vote, and few owned property. It was a man's world, yet despite the extraordinary limitations placed upon her, Mrs. Eddy's contributions to spiritual, social, legal, and religious institutions stand out as spectacular.
What is Christian Science, and what do Christian Scientists believe?
Mary Baker Eddy discovered the Science of Christianity and brought back the lost element of Christian healing, as promised by Jesus in John 14: 26. "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."
As of 2025, 10 million copies of Science and Health had been sold. Millions have been healed by reading and living these Biblical Truths.
This website is dedicated to enlightening the world to the truth about her and declaring Mary Baker Eddy's rightful place in history.
John the Baptist came preaching, "The kingdom of heaven is at hand," and thus he turned men with expectancy to the truth revealed by Christ Jesus, to the golden now as the time in which to experience health, holiness, and heaven. It is surely well for us to realize often the truth so sweetly voiced by Whittier:
Christian Science is not a new theory, but the revival of that divine law established by Jesus during his career on earth, and which was adhered to for three hundred years subsequent thereto; but after that time religion became entangled with politics, and the higher law, which included healing the sick, was excluded from religious worship.
