Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy is, along with the Bible, one of the two central texts of the Christian Science religion. Eddy described it as her "most important work".[1] She began writing it in February 1872,[2] and the first edition was published in 1875. However, she would continue working on it and making changes for the rest of her life.[3]

The book was selected as one of the "75 Books By Women Whose Words Have Changed The World", by the Women's National Book Association.[4]

As of 2001, the book had sold over nine million copies.[5]
