Rudimental Divine Science Author:Mary Baker Eddy Christian Science is the religion, or interpretation of the Christian religion, discovered and founded by Mary Baker Eddy. Christian Scientists regard it as the restoration and divinely promised fulfillment of the religion practiced by Christ Jesus. It is defined by Mrs. Eddy on page 1 of ?Rudimental Divine Science? as ?the law of God, the law o... more »f good, interpreting and demonstrating the divine Principle and rule of universal harmony.?
In answer to the question, what did Mrs. Eddy discover? it can be said that she discovered the law of God, the law of Life, Truth, and Love, as well as the rule, the systematic method of practice, for demonstrating the Principle of harmonious being. Besides this she added immeasurably to the world?s knowledge of spiritual reality as distinguished from material belief. Anyone who would understand Christian Science ?must begin,? says Mrs. Eddy in ?Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures? (p. 275), ?by reckoning God as the divine Principle of all that really is.? Whatever is the object or subject of thought, unless God made it, unless it expresses His being, is illusive, destructible, and unreal. This is the basis of Christian Science. On this basis the Christian Scientist works to purify human thought, to realize the truth of being.
