The Bible is central to the study and practice of Christian Science and its system of healing.

Through the study of the Bible, Mary Baker Eddy found not only inspiration and guidance, but what she believed were the spiritual laws of health and healing that undergirded Jesus’ teachings and works.

In her seminal work Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures she writes, “The Bible has been my only authority,” and “my only textbook”, and “contains the recipe for all healing”, and describes it as “the chart of life”. The Bible and Science and Health are the textbooks for self-instruction in Christian Science, they are central to Sunday School, and a weekly Bible Lesson, made up of selections from these two books, is available for individual study.

Together, the Bible and Science and Health are the pastor of the Christian Science Church. Daily inspiration and healing can be found in the weekly Lesson-Sermon with its specially chosen readings from both books. This Lesson-Sermon is read at all Sunday services, using the King James Version Bible with its rich poetry and prose.

Science and Health removes barriers to understanding the Bible and emphasizes the ever-presence of God’s love in our lives.

“heal the sick...”
These words of Christ Jesus encircling the Cross and Crown seal on the cover of this book are a sweet promise that we all possess the ability to heal ourselves, our families, our world.

Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures explains fully and directly the spiritual teaching of the Bible, and reveals the divine Science that, when practiced, brings health and harmony to all aspects of our lives. It is available to everyone.

The last 100 pages of this book are letters from those who have experienced healing simply by reading or studying this textbook of the Science of Christianity. One reader notes that “it was the theology in Science and Health that healed me, just as it was the theology of Jesus that healed the sick.”
