How Christian Science heals

Naomi Price

"Is the Christian Science healing method something we must apply faithfully without knowing actually how it works?" asked a comparative newcomer to the study of Science.

Indeed not! The Christian Science textbook by Mrs. Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, not only describes the method of practicing Christian healing but encourages its readers to strive for clear knowledge of the divine Principle that is the basis of this metaphysical healing. Science enables us to gain such a grasp of the mode of its curative activity in human consciousness, and such a certainty of its successful operation, that we are happy to rely on it completely.

Opening the first chapter of Science and Health, Mrs. Eddy writes, "The prayer that reforms the sinner and heals the sick is an absolute faith that all things are possible to God,—a spiritual understanding of Him, an unselfed love." Science and Health, p. 1; The would-be healer—whether he is praying for his own benefit or for others—is wise to work most earnestly to increase his faith in God, and he will find that an effective way of doing this is to increase his understanding of Deity and divine law.
