In her book "Retrospection and Introspection" Mary Baker Eddy relates incidents and experiences leading up to her discovery, in 1866, of Christian Science. Her complete recovery through divine aid alone, from an injury which her physician considered might prove fatal, was the culminating event preceding her great discovery.

After this remarkable healing Mrs. Eddy withdrew from society, as she said, "to ponder" her "mission, to search the Scriptures, to find the Science of Mind that should take the things of God and show them to the creature, and reveal the great curative Principle,—Deity" (ibid., pp. 24, 25).

During this period of seclusion there was revealed to her purified and long-searching thought the truth concerning God and man; also the inseparable relation existing between them as Father and son. Of this revealed truth she wrote a full and complete statement in her principal work, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," known also as the Christian Science textbook.
