Mary Baker Eddy (1821–1910) was the founder of the Christian Science religion, founding the Church of Christ, Scientist in Boston in 1879. The Church drew attention by publishing periodicals, led by Eddy’s writing and publishing the Christian Science Journal and most famously The Christian Science Monitor, which is still active.
Eddy also authored the movement’s text book, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, published in 1875 just before she founded the church. Science and Health posits a metaphysical view of Christianity in which sin, disease, and death are not of God and are therefore not real. By striving toward a spiritual understanding of the world as God's perfect creation, these "false beliefs" are shed from one's experience.
This edition of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures is specially formatted with a Table of Contents and pictures of Eddy and the Mother Church.
