What is Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures?

Spurred by the resurgence of interest in spirituality and healing, the book “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910) sold its 10 millionth copy in April 2001.

First published on Oct. 30, 1875, sales of the book reached this landmark figure just after its 125th anniversary of being in print. In the last five years alone, more than one million copies have been sold.

Mary Baker Eddy was a Bible student from early childhood. For years Mary Baker Eddy searched for spiritual solutions to sickness and suffering. This book, her main work, explains what she discovered to be the spiritual laws which she named Christian Science.

“The Bible was my textbook.” she said. “It answered my questions as to how I was healed; but the Scriptures had to me a new meaning, a new tongue. Their spiritual signification appeared; and I apprehended for the first time, in their spiritual meaning, Jesus’ teaching and demonstration, and the principle and rule of spiritual Science and metaphysical healing, in a word, Christian Science.” (Retrospection and Introspection 25:3-9)

An invaluable resource for anyone who’s looking for a spiritual perspective, this book includes 100 pages of reader testimonials, a glossary, and chapters on marriage, prayer, physiology, creation, and more.

“Science and Health” has readers in more than 130 countries and has been sold in 70 countries, including more than 3,000 bookstores, 2,000 Christian Science Reading Rooms worldwide, and Internet bookstores. “Science and Health”” is published in 16 languages.
