NEW LIGHT on health—and care

BY BARBARA VINING

I submitted my metaphysical system of treating disease to the broadest practical tests. Since then this system has gradually gained ground, and has proved itself, whenever scientifically employed, to be the most effective curative agent in medical practice.—Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, pp. 111–112

That every human being on Planet Earth should have ready access to reliable, affordable healthcare is incontestable. That humanity is a long way from reaching this ideal—and that new light is needed on this important subject—is equally incontestable.

The time is ripe for all thinking individuals to examine the light that Christian Science shines on health and care. Much is thought and said about disease and how to treat it through a multitude of means. But, for all the talk about healthcare, little is said about health itself. What, exactly, is health? And how can a better understanding of the true nature of health move humanity toward providing better health and more affordable care for everyone?
