Christian Science

Christian Science is a spiritual movement founded by Mary Baker Eddy in the late 19th century. It emphasizes the healing power of prayer and the idea that reality is primarily spiritual rather than material. Adherents believe that understanding God and aligning with divine principles can lead to physical and emotional healing. The movement's central text is the "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," which interprets the Bible through the lens of its teachings. Christian Scientists often practice spiritual healing instead of conventional medicine, viewing illness as a manifestation of underlying spiritual discord.
