The author, Mary Baker Eddy, devoted more than four decades to refining this message of hope, healing, comfort and spiritual strength. First published in 1875, this book has a 125-year history of inspiring and healing readers worldwide. It is published in English and in 16 different bi-lingual translations and has sold more than ten million copies. --This text refers to an alternate edition.

A reprint of the historic 1st Edition of the book, Science and Health that over the course of more than 400 editions has uplifted the word Today in the year 2016 - the 150the anniversary year of the discovery of Christian Science in 1866 - it becomes appropriate to look back in time to the revolutionary change in the perception of God and man with which the great uplift began that history tells us coincides with the greatest period of peace in the world. It took Mary Baker Eddy (named Mary Baker Glover at the time) a full nine years of scientific spiritual development until she was ready to publish the first edition of a comprehensive textbook of the science that she had discovered, which is presented in this book. While the book was constantly upgraded in the course of more than 400 editions, since the its first publication in 1875, the revolutionary spirit that shines through its pages from the very beginning is still valid today, and valuable for inspiring healing effects as it did from its first day on. I am republishing the historic text to enable a fuller appreciation of the depth of her work from the beginning, and the great amount of work by Mary Baker Eddy that preceded the final edition of the book in 1910, a labor of love spanning 35 Years. This reprint of the 1st Edition has all of Mary Baker Eddy's errata applied, instead of merely appended. - Rolf A. F. Witzsche

The 48th Edition (1889), presented here, is historically significant as the year of its publication marks a turning point in the development of the Church of Christ Scientist. 1889 is the year in which Mary Baker Eddy closed the Massachusetts Metaphysical College, dissolved the church as a corporate structure, and moved away from Boston to the quiet Concord where she devoted herself for the next two years to a major revision of the textbook on Christian Science that became the 50th Edition, published in 1891. With this step completed, she reorganized the church on an 'incorporeal' bases, based on a deed of trust and governed from 1895 on. by the by-laws of its Church Manual, the Manual of the Mother Church, which she is the author of. The 48th Edition marks the beginning of this turning transition. I personally find the 48th Edition interesting, and glad to be sharing it, for its revolutionary concepts that mark the beginning of the great transition. Referring to the earlier, now historic editions of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy counsels, ...do not attempt to dispose of the earlier editions. Fortunate is he who has all former revisions, together with the original edition of 1875 They are indicators of successive stages of growth in Christian Science, ...Keep them all; they will prove a treasure trove. ... Let the new (modern) volume be studied in connection with earlier editions. The very contrasts help to see how the thoughts have risen only as we have been able to receive them. ... It is simply because the advancing thought, or demonstration, of Christian Students has ascended to that plane which makes it both possible and practicable for us to have the new (modern) Work. MARY BAKER G. EDDY -from the Christian Science Journal, April, 1891. This reprint edition has been prepared with great effort in a project to make the earlier editions, which have largely disappeared from the landscape, accessible again, and this not only in printed form, but also in PDF form that is electronically searchable, and selectively printable. During the editorial process, I, as editor of the printed format have taken the liberty to include a number of subheadings into the Table of Contents, shown in brackets, that I find of personal interest and have included for this reason, to share my interest. Please note, it is an enormously tedious task to recompile a printed historic book with historic terminology and spelling. While great care has been taken to verify the electronically scanned and converted text for accuracy, some typographical errors may have made it past the guard. If so, please excuse the oversight.

Mary Baker Eddy (July 16, 1821 - December 3, 1910) was an American religious leader and author who founded The Church of Christ, Scientist, in New England in 1879. She also founded The Christian Science Monitor, a Pulitzer Prize-winning secular newspaper, in 1908 and three religious magazines: the Christian Science Sentinel, The Christian Science Journal, and The Herald of Christian Science. She wrote numerous books and articles, the most notable of which was Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, which had sold over nine million copies as of 2001.

Members of The First Church of Christ, Scientist consider Eddy the discoverer of Christian Science, and adherents are therefore known as Christian Scientists or students of Christian Science. The church is sometimes informally known as the Christian Science church.

Eddy was named one of the 100 Most Significant Americans of All Time in 2014 by Smithsonian Magazine, and her book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures was ranked as one of the 75 Books by Women Whose Words Have Changed the World by the Women's National Book Association. (wikipedia.org)

Manual of the Mother Church-The First Church of Christ Scientist in Boston, Massachusetts is a classic Christian Science text by Mary Baker Eddy. The Rules and By-laws in the Manual of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, Boston, originated not in solemn conclave as in ancient Sanhedrim. They were not arbitrary opinions nor dictatorial demands, such as one person might impose on another. They were impelled by a power not one's own, were written at different dates, and as the occasion required. They sprang from necessity, the logic of events, --from the immediate demand for them as a help that must be supplied to maintain the dignity and defense of our Cause; hence their simple, scientific basis, and detail so requisite to demonstrate genuine Christian Science, and which will do for the race what absolute doctrines destined for future generations might not accomplish.

No and Yes is a classic Christian science text by Mary Baker Eddy. It was the purpose of No and Yes by Mary Baker Eddy to benefit no favored class, but, according to the apostle's admonition, to reprove, rebuke, exhort, and with the power and self-sacrificing spirit of Love to correct involuntary as well as voluntary error. By a modification of the language, the import of this edition is, we trust, transparent to the hearts of all conscientious laborers in the realm of Mind-healing. To those who are athirst for the life-giving waters of a true divinity, it saith tenderly, Come and drink; and if you are babes in Christ, leave the meat and take the unadulterated milk of the Word, until you grow to apprehend the pure spirituality of Truth.

This collection of literature attempts to compile many of the classic, timeless works that have stood the test of time and offer them at a reduced, affordable price, in an attractive volume so that everyone can enjoy them.

The primary text of Christian Science, this book explains the beliefs and doctrines, and offers many examples of faith as source of healing energy for true believers. Written by Mary Baker Eddy in the 1870s, the work coins several recognizable terms such as God is all and God is mind. These phrases denote how the power of the Lord is within everything, including our own human minds; spanning matter, energy and the universe, the being of God is infinite and occupies everywhere at every time. Keen to distinguish Christian Science from other, more spiritually intensive movements of metaphysics or the occult, Mary Baker Eddy emphasizes how Christ as God is a great example of the Lord's infinite presence. Many of the accounts later in the book, whereby Christians attest that their beliefs helped them overcome various illnesses, are rooted deep in the traditions of the faith. This edition of the book is adapted from the revised, updated edition of 1910.
