Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures

Mary Baker Eddy's primary work, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, is a 700-page book detailing her discovery of Christian Science, her system of healing, and her commentary on the Scriptures. It was the focal point for the expression of so many of Mrs. Eddy's ideas. Printed in Czech, Danish, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish.

Other Writings

In addition to her primary work, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, and some autobiographical reflections, Mary Baker Eddy wrote and published many other works during her lifetime, including the following:

Miscellaneous Writings 1883-1896

Mary Baker Eddy felt that this collection of writings was so important, she requested in 1897 that students of her works spend the next year thoroughly reading it. The diverse articles, addresses, letters, and poems--on topics such as mental healing, forgiveness, angels, and marriage--are based on the author's own experiences in putting her system of healing into practice. Considered by Mrs. Eddy to be a book that would help readers better understand Science and Health, it contains dozens of letters from people healed just by reading that work.
