This book is Mary Baker Eddy’s response to the vicious accusations by Frederick Peabody, a lawyer who represented a client in litigation against Eddy. Eddy’s advisors recommended she not publish her book because of the possibility of further public agitation. But it was published by the Christian Science Publishing Society for the first time in 2002.

Mary Baker Eddy wrote of her first edition of Science and Health (when she was Mary Baker Glover) that it was her most important work and contained the complete statement of Christian Science,—the term she employed to express the divine, or spiritual, Science of Mind-healing. Her final version reflects a shift from a narrative to an explicitly religious discovery.

This flagship for Christian Science by Mary Baker Eddy is used as the denominational textbook and was intended by its author to “bear consolation to the sorrowing and healing to the sick” (xii). The book’s theological premise—that Christ Jesus taught and demonstrated the spiritual facts of being—precedes the metaphysical interpretation of scripture that grounds its healing system.
