Christian Science

  The concept seems odd, but a segment of Christianity exists, called Christian Science. Christian Science developed from a woman named Mary Baker Eddy, who incorporated the tenets of scripture in her textbook on Christian Science, named Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.
  When I read the basic teachings of Christian Science on the official website, not much "science" was involved. In fact, I found no evidence in the basic teachings tab that hard science and experimentation were involved in the creation of the Christian Science textbook, or the religion itself for that matter.
  What I found more interesting was that Christian Science deviates very little from others who have taken on the responsibility of interpreting the Bible in a non-relgious setting.
  The basic teachings of Christian Science are as follows:

• The Word of the Bible is the guide to eternal life
• God is both supreme and infinite
• Jesus' crucifixion acknowledges eternal faith and love
• Love is the basis of all things and all things knowledgeable

  Overall, the idea not entirely different from the basic teachings of what we call "typical" Christianity. The difference is that Christian Science was founded upon a textbook written by Mary Baker Eddy, who I will write about in a continuation post.
