“Science and Health,” first published in 1875, is based entirely on the wholly spiritual laws she discovered during her three years’ search of Scripture and of the teachings and practice of Christ Jesus, our Wayshower.  This textbook exists still as the first text ever written dealing exclusively and comprehensively with divine metaphysics:  the humble, individual study and intelligent, prayerful application of God’s spiritual laws as they apply to all human need.  

     Our website enables you to download, at no charge, additional useful materials for your study and application of God’s laws.  These offerings, comprised of three additional texts, pertinent because also dedicated to this purpose, are based entirely on the spiritual precepts presented in full in “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” and other of Mrs. Eddy’s writings.  In her own words. “A few books . . . based on this book, are useful.” (S&H x: 9)

The three useful, full-length textbooks available on this site for your use are:

(1)  CHRISTIAN SCIENCE:  Its “Clear, Correct Teaching” and COMPLETE WORKS, by Herbert W. Eustace, C.S.B.  (this text is popularly known as The One Volume or OV)

   Mr. Eustace, an authorized teacher and practitioner of Christian Science for many decades, was a student of Edward A. Kimball, C.S.B., the first Lecturer of Christian Science.  Mrs. Eddy specifically selected Mr. Kimball for this important fledgling task.  Both Mr. Kimball and Mrs. Eddy became aware of Mr. Eustace's natural proclivity for spiritual metaphysics and its successful application during his two class instructions, Primary Class and Normal Class, with Kimball, both of which were under Mrs. Eddy's direction.  He was the only student Kimball and Eddy ever found who wanted to take advanced class instruction, not so he could teach Christian Science, but specifically to better understand the machinations of animal magnetism, or malicious mental malpractice – an area of study of which Mrs. Eddy once remarked, “Where all students have failed is in not knowing how to handle animal magnetism.” (OV 383)  The One Volume is the complete record of Mr. Eustace’s class teaching in Christian Science plus his other articles on spiritual concepts successfully practised during forty years in the public practice of Christian Science.

     You are invited to peruse the Table of Contents of The One Volume to gain an overview of the breadth and depth of these notes and articles.  The introduction, “To The Reader,” details Mr. Eustace’s background in Christian Science in his own words.  His essays and explanations about animal magnetism present clearly and correctly the breadth and depth of what he learned in those classes with Kimball and Eddy and what he taught during his years in public practice.  The One Volume is also unique in that “any sincere seeker of Truth” (S&H x: 23) can put himself through Christian Science class instruction by following the methodology for self-instruction carefully explained in the Volume’s first seven chapters.  Based entirely on your individual, spiritual communion with the One Mind, God, Divine Consciousness, you can complete a course of study in spiritual metaphysics like no other.

(2)  COURSE IN DIVINITY and GENERAL COLLECTANEA of Items By and About Mary Baker Eddy, compiled by Richard F. Oakes  (this text is popularly known  as The Blue Book or BB because of the color of its cover)

(3)  ESSAYS AND BIBLE LESSONS ascribed to Mary Baker Eddy, and FOOTPRINTS FADELESS by Mary Baker Eddy, with The Science of Man, Early Papers, Visions, and Mind Healing:  Historical Sketch, compiled by Richard F. Oakes  (this text is popularly known as The Red Book or RB because of the color of its cover)

      About these two most useful compilations:  the nature and source of the materials, their original acquisition for The Blue Book and The Red Book, and the reasons for the private publication of these texts, are thoroughly and thoughtfully discussed in their Prefaces by the compiler, Richard F. Oakes.
