The Science Jesus Practiced

JACK EDWARD FOSS

"Jesus of Nazareth was the most scientific man that ever trod the globe," Science and Health, p. 313; writes Mary Baker Eddy in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. To use the adjective "scientific" to describe Jesus is unusual, if not unique. The Church of Christ, Scientist, founded by Mrs. Eddy, is based on a recognition of his life and works as masterful demonstrations of the Science that can be learned and practiced by everyone.

In the scramble to achieve and maintain physical security and affluence, numerous avenues are being explored—from new methods of food production to efforts at population control and the development of unthinkable weaponry.
