The Discovery of the Science of Man

The Discovery of the Science of Man: The Life of Mary Baker Eddy (1821–1888) by Doris Grekel is the first volume in The Womanhood of God series. It traces Mary Baker Eddy’s life from childhood through personal loss, illness, marriage, the Civil War years, her association with Phineas Quimby, and the spiritual experiences that shaped her developing understanding of healing and Christian Science.

Following her journey through hardship, study, teaching, and spiritual discovery, the book explores the early formation of the ideas that would later define Christian Science. Through a detailed chronological account, Grekel presents Eddy’s search for spiritual truth, the writing and revision of her teachings, and the experiences that led to her emergence as the Discoverer of the Science of Man.
