CHRISTIAN SCIENCE:
The Church of Christ Scientist founded by Mary BAKER-EDDY
(1821-1910), who believed she had been healed after a severe injury in 1866. She dedicated
her life to promoting a form of healing based on ideas taken from CHRISTIANITY, HINDUISM
and BUDDHISM. In 1875 her book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures was
published, and on August 23, 1879 the CHURCH OF CHRIST SCIENTIST was incorporated in
Boston. Christian Science teaches a confusing synthesis of ABRAMIC and YOGIC RELIGIONS on
the premise that GOD is the "Divine Principle of all that really is."
