Managing Editor, The Christian Science Journal
When Mary Baker Eddy established The Christian Science Journal in 1883, she had a specific purpose in mind, namely, that it would answer questions about spiritual healing that were coming to the Massachusetts Metaphysical College from the public. The faculty of the college, which she opened in 1883, taught people to heal spiritually. But there was so much demand for this teaching, that the college faculty didn't have time to reply to nonstudents' questions. Yet Mrs. Eddy knew these spiritual seekers deserved an answer. Thus, the Journal was born.
Now, over a hundred years later, the Journal is still responding to people's requests for a deeper understanding of God and His presence in their lives, and in the world. Its goal is to inspire readers and turn them to the foundational message of Christian Science, which is fully articulated in Mrs. Eddy's book Science and Health. The Journal doesn't replace or update Science and Health, but it does seek to instill in readers a desire to know this book better.
