As mankind enters a new century and millennium, there is a deeper search going on for the true meanings of life, health and freedom -- a search for the solutions to our environment and how to attain better relationships with one another. What role does Christianity play? How does the Bible continue to provide guidance and vitality? Is spirituality relevant to the health, happiness, and progress of man?
In the Preface to her work, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy writes, "The time for thinkers has come. Truth, independent of doctrines and time-honored systems, knocks at the portal of humanity. Contentment with the past and the cold conventionality of materialism are crumbling away. Ignorance of God is no longer the stepping-stone to faith. The only guarantee of obedience is a right apprehension of Him whom to know aright is Life eternal."
In succeeding chapters, the author explains the nature of God, man, and the universe; sets forth the Science of Christianity; emphasizes the importance of spirituality as the answer to materialism; and provides a key to understanding the timeless teachings of the Bible.
First published in 1875 in English, it has since been translated into 16 languages. Revised over 400 times, the book has sold over 10 million copies.
