| Mary Baker Eddy |
Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910) is the
Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, and author of
Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, a perennial
best-selling book on healing.
She was raised in New Hampshire by parents who were devout
Congregationalists, and the Bible was central to her religious and
educational upbringing. Her early adult life included more than its
share of serious personal tragedies and poor health, and over a
twenty year period of chronic illness she was led to explore many
curative methods. Though none of these methods resulted in permanent healing, the earnest
desire to understand the healing science underlying Biblical texts led her to
discover the laws of healing used by Christ Jesus, which she named Christian Science.
As Mrs Eddy’s ability to prove the effectiveness of her discovery grew, she established
herself as a healer and began to teach others how to heal. In 1868, she was asked to
help a woman dying from pneumonia. The doctor in attendance informed her that there
was no hope for the patient. However, Mrs Eddy immediately cured the woman. The doctor
urged her to write a book about her system of healing and share it with the world.
Science and Health is the result.
