CHRISTIAN SCIENCE: THE CLEAR, CORRECT
UNFOLDMENT OF DIVINE METAPHYSICS
“Great peace have they which love Thy law: and nothing shall offend them.” (KJV, Psalm 119: 165) For “We live in an age of Love's divine adventure to be All-in-all.” (Mary Baker Eddy, My 158: 9-10)
This website, as with the former, is designed to elucidate for every interested seeker – students, researchers, scholars, whether new to Christian Science or life-long Scientists – the “clear, correct” explanation and amplifi-cation of what Christian Science is, and why.
Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, wrote her textbook, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” several years after a severe accident, from the effects of which she fully recovered entirely through prayer. A deeply religious woman, Mrs. Eddy was thereby impelled to study the all-power and the all-presence of God, Good; of divine Truth, Life, and Love – His laws of good – which she realized had resulted in her complete and permanent healing.
“Science and Health,” first published in 1875, is founded entirely on the wholly spiritual laws she discovered during her three years’ search of Scrip-ture and on 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, Divine Principle, Love's, spiritual laws as they apply to all human need.
This site also enables you to download, at no charge, additional useful materials for your study and application of God’s laws. These offerings, comprised of four 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) because “Such books as will rule disease out of mortal mind, — and so efface the images and thoughts of disease, instead of impressing them with forcible descriptions and medical details, — will help to abate sickness and to destroy it.” (S&H 196: 20)
The useful full-length texts available for your use on this site are:
(1) THE FOUNDING FACTS OF CLEAR, CORRECT CHRISTIAN
SCIENCE: How and Why the Discoverer, Founder, and Revelator of
Christian Science Receives and Establishes The Revelation;
and of the Revelator's Prophecy-Confirmed Successor
We refer to this text as The Founding Facts or simply “FFs.” The purpose of this text is to show clearly and correctly to “any sincere seeker of Truth” the Mind-established framework which Mary Baker Eddy as the Discoverer, Founder, and Revelator of Christian Science acknowledges metaphysically throughout her career to be the infallible, irrefutable, divine platform upon which Christian Science is Mind-founded; is Mind-revealed to her; is Mind-practised by her; and upon which this Revelation rests for all time.
Additionally, you will uncover for yourself and rejoice for evermore about what Mrs. Eddy's “successor” is, why, and what this means for Christian Science and for Christian Scientists.
(2) 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 over five decades, was a student of Edward A. Kimball, C.S.D., the first Lecturer of Christian Science. Mrs. Eddy specifically selected Mr. Kimball for that 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 with Kimball: Primary Class nad Normal Class. He was the only student Kimball and Eddy ever found who sought to take advanced class instruction not so he could teach Christian Science, but specifically to better understand the machina-tions of animal magnetism, or malicious mental malpractice – an area of study of which Mrs. Eddy significantly 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 Herbert W. Eustace’s 50+ years of the class teaching and the healing practice in Christian Science plus his other articles on spiritual precepts Christian Scientifically understood and thus included in that public practice.
You are invited to peruse the Table of Contents of The One Volume to gain an overview of the spiritually metaphysical breadth and depth of these notes and articles. The introduction, “To The Reader,” details Mr. Eustace’s back-ground in Christian Science in his own words. His essays and expla-nations about animal magnetism / malicious mental malpractice present clearly and correctly the breadth and depth of what he learned in those classes with Kimball and what he subsequently learned and 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 One Volume’s first seven chapters. Based entirely on your individual, spiritual communion with the One Mind, God, Good, Divine Consciousness, you will complete a course of study in spiritual metaphysics like no other.

(3) 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 original color of its cover)
(4) 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

The Red Book or RB because of the original color of its cover)
About these two 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 presented in their Prefaces by the compiler, Richard F. Oakes.
(5) THE CLASS DRILL: A CLEAR, CORRECT, DIVINE MIND-
TUTORED LEARNING EXPERIENCE IN DIVINE META-
PHYSICS – CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
NOTE: this offering is not a separate text as such. It is a named collection of those portions of The One Volume which comprise a Mind-classroom self-study experience in Christian Science.
“Each class is individual in character and progresses from its own starting point as though it were evolving for the first time.
A Christian Science class is not a lecture course. It has nothing about it that is stereotyped. It is purely spontaneous from beginning to end, full of 'wit, humor, and enduring vivacity".” (One Volume 17)
There are two parts: THE “UNDERGRADUATE” COURSE and
THE “GRADUATE” COURSE. We invite you to open (below)
and peruse their Contents as suggested whenever you're ready for
a wholly Divine Mind-tutored, individual classroom experience
in Christian Science.

And thank you for visiting our new domain's website. The original website christiansciencecct.org which was opened as initially completed in 2011, without prior notice or reason was evidently set adrift by its original DNS administrative organization sometime in 2021-2022.
Instead, a grand never-adrift opportunity presented to rejoice that:
“Unhallowed thought He could not plan,
Love's work and Love must fit.” (Christian Science Hymnal, hymn 51)
