The healing effect of Science and Health

CAROLYN B. SWAN

Many have casually, curiously, or critically scanned the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. But those who have thoughtfully read it are in the best position to bear witness to the healing influence that reaches out from those pages, embracing, comforting, restoring.

Acting as a key to the spiritual meaning of the Bible, the textbook systematizes and interprets the scriptural concept of healing. The book honors one infinite God; it describes the purity and perfection of man, God's spiritual image, and explains the eternal, healing Christ, which Jesus taught and practiced. In no other volume is the deception of the material senses unmasked to expose so completely the nothingness of matter or evil.

Science and Health startles its students from the Adam-dream of the delusive material senses; it progressively arouses us to realize that God, good, is actually All-in-all. With explanations that inspire and instruct, the textbook steers both practitioner and patient, through spiritual means alone, toward regeneration and healing.
