Mary Baker Eddy the Prophetic and Historical Perspective Paul R Smillie

Publisher Marketing: Regarding the title of this book, what does "perspective" mean? Is it not the ability to understand history through the lens of enlightened thought, to recognize that from Genesis 1, and its reversal in Genesis 2, plus mankind's subsequent journey to find the true idea of God as it unfolded through the ages, ever moving to the focal point where the light of Truth shines with such brilliance that mankind can awaken from its long slumber and recognize the fact of creation, "that man is God's own child, the image of His Love," and thus be enabled to prove that fact with "signs following." In the year 1866, one of Daniel's dates, a woman who had been diligently searching for many years to find the answer to the Christ cure of disease as employed by the Master, found her answer, the truth that would free mankind from the diabolical myth of creation given in Genesis 2. She proved that account false when she arose from her bed of suffering healed through God's ever-present power to heal and to save. She said of that moment: "My immediate recovery from the effects of an injury caused by an accident, an injury that neither medicine nor surgery could reach, was the falling apple that led me to the discovery how to be well myself, and how to make others so. . . ." Later she wrote, "The Bible was my textbook. It answered my questions as to how I was healed; but the Scriptures had to me a new meaning, a new tongue. . . I apprehended for the first time . . . Jesus' teaching and demonstration, and the Principle and rule of spiritual Science and metaphysical healing, - in a word, Christian Science." Read this book, "Mary Baker Eddy, The Prophetic and Historical Perspective," and learn more about this most remarkable woman and how the world's journey from Genesis to the present time relates to her, then read her book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures."
