Oneness with God overcomes material codes

Alex Cavalli

While reading Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, I have often paused to think deeply about Mary Baker Eddy’s description of Jesus of Nazareth as “the most scientific man that ever trod the globe.” And how he “plunged beneath the material surface of things, and found the spiritual cause” (p. 313).

The prayer of Christian Scientists, while affirming that God is All-in-all, also addresses what we might call the mental landscape of human existence in order to prove God’s allness.
