THEOLOGY AND HEALING

From the November 1888 issue of The Christian Science Journal


We find scores of people who like the healing of Christian Science, but not the theology.

If it were possible, and in accord with Principle, to bring out Christian healing outside the line of Christianity, we might be able to accommodate this class; but we are glad to know that no one can be healed in sin; but that the present knowledge of Good is the only power against sickness or sin.

The musician is not expected to bring out music from some source never known to produce music, nor the mathematician to solve his problem except by the principle of mathematics. Christian healing can only be effected through the understanding of a fixed Principle, which is God, or Good. This understanding can not be learned unless taught; and that which is taught concerning God is theology.
