What is Christian Science?
Christian Science is based on the teachings of Jesus. It is a Christian religion that follows the inspired word of the Bible - both the Old and the New Testaments - along with the textbook
Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,
by author Mary Baker Eddy.
Science and Health has its sole foundation in the Bible, and elucidates the timeless principles and guidelines found there.
These two books, The Holy Bible and Science and Health, show how God’s care and goodness can be felt
in everyday life, in practical ways.
You are warmly welcome!
