The Founding of Christian Science

The Founding of Christian Science: The Life of Mary Baker Eddy (1888–1900) by Doris Grekel is the second volume in The Womanhood of God series. It follows a pivotal period in Mary Baker Eddy’s life as Christian Science expanded through teaching, publishing, church organization, and the development of its institutions. The book also examines the opposition, internal disputes, and personal challenges she faced during these formative years.

Moving chronologically through the years 1888 to 1900, Grekel explores the revision of Science and Health, the growth of The Mother Church, the dedication of the Christian Science church, missionary work, publishing activity, and Eddy’s continued spiritual leadership. Through detailed historical episodes, the volume presents the author’s account of how Christian Science developed from an emerging movement into an established religious organization.
