Christian Science presents the law of divine good, redeeming mankind from sin, sickness, death, and from all the finity of believing that life and intelligence are in matter. There is no more important message to share with the world than the message of pure, scientific Christianity.
In 1883 when our Leader, Mrs. Eddy, set forth to publish the Journal, she wrote an article entitled "A Timely Issue." Here Mrs. Eddy points to the crucial need for clarifying society's concept of the scientific, spiritual method of Christian healing taught in Christian Science. She writes, "Much interest is awakened and expressed on the subject of metaphysical healing, but in many minds it is confounded with isms, and even infidelity, so that its religious specialty and the vastness of its worth are not understood."Miscellaneous Writings, p. 4.
In recent years many of the most vocal criticisms and persistent misunderstandings have come from those religionists who would claim that Christian Science is not Christian. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
