The Bible and Christian Science Textbook
The Bible
The Bible serves as a guide to all Christians. Stories from the Old Testament [before Jesus] and the New Testament [life of Jesus and beginnings of Christianity] gives us examples of how to live closer to God. The history of the Hebrew people sets the stage for Jesus' appearance and acts.
There are many translations of the Bible. The King James Version is the one used in the Christian Science Quarterly Bible Lesson which is used for daily study, read in the Sunday Service, and is available for sale at the Reading Room. There are also more contemporary Bible translations available for sale.
Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures
Mary Baker Eddy was a lifelong student of the Bible. And she had always wanted to find solutions to human suffering. When she was critically injured in 1866, she turned to God with her whole heart. While reading accounts of Jesus’ swift, powerful healings, she experienced a new sense of God. She saw that God, Spirit, is the only reality. And she was completely healed. She wanted to understand what happened, so she studied the Bible and found universal and dependable laws of God. These laws are the foundation of Christian Science.
