Christian Science is a religious movement founded in the late 19th century by Mary Baker Eddy. It emphasizes the importance of spiritual healing and the belief that reality is fundamentally spiritual rather than material. Followers believe that understanding God and the teachings of Jesus Christ can lead to physical and emotional healing. The central text of Christian Science is the book titled Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, written by Eddy. This book explains the principles of Christian Science and provides guidance on how to apply its teachings in daily life. Practitioners often rely on prayer and spiritual understanding for healing rather than conventional medicine.
