The therapeutics of Christian Science are divine because they are based wholly on the understanding of the present and eternal perfection of God and man. Mary Baker Eddy's discovery and founding of Christian Science brought to the world the absolute Science of true therapeutics, which was so wonderfully illustrated by the master Metaphysician, Christ Jesus, in his mighty demonstrations of healing. Speaking to his followers in all ages, he said (John 14:12), "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father."
Today, through the Science of the Christ, we all can become Christian metaphysicians and successfully practice the art of divine therapeutics, as did our great Exemplar and those who followed his precepts centuries ago. The teachings of this Science make clear the spiritual fact that the cure for every disease is a correct understanding and application of the power of God that meets the human need. As we meticulously follow the clear instructions on divine metaphysics set forth in the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, we can heal ourselves and others of the ills of the flesh.
The anatomy of the material body does not enter into the premise or conclusion of Christian Science treatment. This fact does not imply that the Christian metaphysician ignores the human need by saying that all is well when there is apparent evidence of discord.
