spent a decade working in alternative medicine, before entering Harvard Divinity School's Master of Divinity program. The focus of her studies is spirituality and healing, and her research revolves around the work of Mary Baker Eddy, healing accounts in the New Testament, and comparative cross-cultural religious healing practices.
IN A LECTURE, a teacher of mine once said, almost as an aside, "Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health — lots of wisdom in this book — read it." I wrote that in the marging of my notebook, and then picked up a copy a couple of years later in the San Francisco Airport Reading Room.
I didn't know much about Christian Science before I picked up the book, so I didn't have a lot of expectations. I've been Science and Health for four years, and find it to be an extremely helpful resource in cultivating my relationship with God and in my quest to understand the art and essence of healing. I think Mary Baker Eddy's articulation of what healing is and how it occurs, is one of the clearest and most refined that I've ever read.
