The "what" and "how" of Christian Science

Geoffrey I. Barratt

Given the emphasis placed by Christian Science on its practicality, we quite naturally want to know how Science works, how it can be demonstrated—and demonstrated better—by oneself.

The "how" of its teaching is inseparable from its "what." In fact, the "what" comes before the "how." Without some grasp of what divine Science is—God's revelation of Himself—we might have difficulty in understanding how it works, and to see it work in our life in healing and spiritual progress.

If we should ever have difficulty with the questions, "How can I demonstrate Science more potently? How can I be more sure of healing results?" we should check our understanding of omnipresent divine reality.
