Soul of A Woman - The Life and Times of Mary Baker Eddy

"Mary Baker Eddy (July 16, 1821 – December 3, 1910) was an American religious leader who founded Christian Science, a new religious movement, in New England in the latter half of the 19th century. Author of the movement's main textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, first published in 1875, Eddy argued that the material world does not exist and, in particular, that sickness is a mental error that can be corrected by Christian Science prayer. Four years later, she and 26 followers founded the Church of Christ, Scientist in Lynn, Massachusetts. Eddy died on the evening of December 3, 1910, at her home at 400 Beacon Street, in the Chestnut Hill section of Newton, Massachusetts. Her death was announced the next morning, when a city medical examiner was called in. She was buried on December 8, 1910, at Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Name: Christian Science Purpose: The realization of God and Good as the means to health and prosperity. Founder: Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910).

Source of authority: The writings of Eddy as interpreted by Christian Science. Revealed teachings: Yes. Christian Science is the outcome of Eddy’s involvement in mediumism and Quimbyism. (Phineas Parker Quimby promoted an early form of mental/ psychic healing that strongly influenced Eddy.)

Examples of occult potential: Mrs. Eddy was a spiritistic medium for about 25 years. There is an openness to certain psychic abilities in Science and Health, although misin­terpreted in divine terms. Telepathy is possible in treatments, and Christian Science healing may be considered a form of psychic healing.

Examples of Key Literature: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures; Miscella­neous Writings; Seven Messages to the Mother Church; Church Manual; and other texts by Mary Baker Eddy.

Attitude toward Christianity: Rejecting.

Quotes: “If there had never existed such a person as the Galilean Prophet, it would make no difference to me.” (Mary Baker Eddy, First Church of Christ Scientist and Miscellany, pp. 318-319.) “We have no more proof of human discord, sin, sickness, disease, or death,— than we have that the earth’s surface is flat, and her motions imaginary.” (Mary Baker Eddy, Miscellaneous Writings, p. 65.) “False theology would tell you that it is sin we need to be saved from.” (Edward Kimball, Lectures and Articles on Christian Science, p. 209.)
