Mary Beck Andy (July 16, 1821 – March 1910) was a female religious leader and founder of the Christian scientific movement in the United States. Due to religious superstition, Doctor Quinby believed that she had discovered Jesus' method of treating her spinal disease without using medication. After Quinby's death, her old illness recurred, but she recovered after reading the New Testament. This made her confident that she had discovered Christian science. In 1879, the First Church of Christian Science was established in Boston, and two years later, the Massachusetts Society of Metaphysics was founded as a pastor. The Christian Science Monitor, founded in 1908, has now become one of the important weekly newspapers in the United States.
Mary Becker Eddy (born on July 16, 1821 in Concord, New Hampshire, full name Mary Morse Baker, Mary Morse Baker Eddy, died in Boston in March 1910) stated in her own words in 1866 that she had discovered life, truth and love, and the principles of the divine. Their discovery was referred to as the development of Christian science, and in the coming years, their theology was published in 1875 as her main focus of work, the Bible, Science and Health. And establish a global Christian Science Church.
Mary Baker Eddy, known as one of the most outstanding women in 19th century America and the founder of the Christian Science Society, is a highly legendary figure. Before the age of fifty, she was plagued by various illnesses, her marriage failed, she was at odds with her family, and she was lonely and helpless; When she passed away at the age of eighty-nine, she had combined fame, wealth, and power, becoming a religious leader to which tens of thousands of believers were subservient. She founded over 3000 Christian Science Societies and published the Christian Science Monitor, which became a best-selling publication in the United States. Many people do not understand what "Christian science" is and what medicine it sells. In fact, the so-called "science" of Christianity is the faith healing method that does not require medication. Aishi emphasizes that the lesson of Christianity is the "science" (principle) of health. And when we learn about her life, it's not difficult to understand why she values health and treatment so much.
Mrs. Eddie was born in 1821, and her father was a strict Reformed Church member, but she opposed her father's beliefs. At the age of 17, he joined the pro English Church of Gangjishen (Note 2), but refused to accept the teachings of the Reformed Church regarding predestination and judgment. Therefore, he also disagrees with his father. Dropped out of school due to poor health in the early years. In 1844, she married George Glover, but unfortunately, her happy days were very short. Half a year later, her husband passed away, leaving behind a posthumous child and this sad widow. In 1853, he married dentist Daniel Patterson, and twenty years later, he still ended up divorced.
Her second marriage was not a happy one. In 1853, she married dentist Daniel Patterson and divorced twenty years later. During this period, her health was still very poor, and it can be said that repeated treatments were ineffective. Later, it was heard that there was a miraculous doctor named Phineas P. Quimby who could cure people without medicine, who went to visit and seek medical treatment. In 1862, when they first met, they believed they had been "cured" and were very impressed by Kun's medical skills and theories. From then on, they followed Kun's teachings, spread them, and used his therapeutic techniques to treat other patients. Later on, she founded the Christian Science Society herself, but repeatedly denied being influenced by the Kun family and instead claimed that the Kun family borrowed her insights. Her strong argument cannot withstand questioning. In 1921, a book called "The Quim by Manuscript" was published, which compiled Kun's writings and posthumous manuscripts, and compared it with Ai's work "Science&Health with Key to the Scriptures". In comparison, people without prejudice would see who plagiarized who. It is indeed a plagiarism of Kun's teachings. Kun referred to his theory as "the science of Christ", while Ai referred to his discovery as "Christian science", indicating the relationship between the two (Note 3).
1866 was the most important year of Aishi's life. That year, Quinby passed away and separated from her second husband, while also discovering "Christian science" (Note 4). She fell and was injured in an accident, claiming to be seriously injured and having no hope of survival (Note 5). Three days later, she read the story of Jesus healing the paralytic in Matthew 9:2-8 and immediately recovered, thus discovering "Christian science". Afterwards, Ai Shi spread her discovery everywhere, recruited disciples, taught this kind of "spiritual medicine" that does not require medication, and charged a considerable tuition fee. However, the trainees even set up a clinic to practice medicine.
The third husband, Asa Gilbert Eddy, was originally her student and the first to call herself a Christian Science Practitioner. She said that someone studied the Book of Daniel and calculated that Christ would come back in 1866. She agreed with this statement because spiritual thoughts returned to the material Earth, which coincided with her discovery of Christian science. But she denied that the Adventist refers to the belief that Jesus came to the world again. She said that the Second Coming refers to the divine manifestation of God - Christ was discovered.
She married Eddie in 1877. In 1875, Aishi wrote the book "Science and Health", which became the textbook and authoritative doctrine of "Christian science". The scale of Christian science has been established. In 1879, Aishi continuously promoted her career and developed Christian science into a formal religious activity.
Aishi enjoys supreme authority in the church, and their Church Handbook stipulates that any member of the church who has been in the church for three years or more, upon receiving two days of notice, must serve at Aishi's home for a period not exceeding three years, and those who violate this rule will be expelled from the church (Note 6). Ai also regarded herself as the woman mentioned in Chapter 12 of Revelation, bringing the light of revelation (Note 7). Although the Christian Science Society did not formally deify her, Aishi intended to deify herself. Her faithful are not allowed to refer to any woman other than her birth mother or Aishi as a mother. She interpreted the first sentence of the Lord's Prayer, "Our Father in heaven," as "God of our parents as one, perfect harmony." (Note 8). Some members of the Christian scientific community have said, "Jesus Christ is the male representative of God's paternity, and in this era, Lady Eddie is the female representative of God's motherhood." (Note 9) Although this is not the official stance of Christian science, it is the view of many believers, and it is believed that Lady Eddie will also secretly praise it. These arrogant acts are precisely the manifestations of the great sinners and fallen sons that the Bible criticizes (Thesis 2:1-4)
Mary Beck Eddie, the youngest of six children, grew up with devout parents. She entered the age of 17 in the office, rather than a single church, where the Christian community (English Church) agreed and recognized the highest standards of justice captured by the "Bible" God's Word. But their fate of rebellion, their church. Due to her childhood, she was weak and sickly, and her interest in development was rumored in the early accounts of the Bible.
In 1843, she married George Washington Glover. About a year after his death, not long ago, their son, 1853 George Washington Glover Jr., was born after marrying Dr. Daniel Patterson.
As early as the 1850s, Mary Beck Eddie's century began to investigate various healing methods. In the 1960s, they showed a strong interest in the treatment methods provided by Phineas P. Quimby (the New Mind Movement). Eddie discovered Quinby's teaching and hopes to visit relevant sources of biblical healing. The art of self suggestion and her first disaster relief, she did not study the reasons behind his methods. However, the fundamental separation and healing practices of eddy current Christian faith suggest that Kunbi, in which she said, "God is not at the center of the station." They also rejected Kunbi's practice of erasing magnetic heads on patients and animals, therefore, United Nations Christianity, from.
Mary Beck and Eddie found it difficult to get injured in accidents. In the winter of 1866, they referred to the Bible (Matthew 9's story of the healing of the paralytic) as dwelling and spontaneously healing. This experience led to the development of a three-year study on Bible and Christian science teaching. After a while, they opened their own healing process. In this belief, God will not have illness before it returns to reality and God and his thoughts, and men have a clearer understanding that it can be overcome. She begins her constantly developing theory in a private circle.
After her divorce in 1873, Dr. Patterson unfortunately got married. The first edition of "The Key to Understanding Science and Health" was published in 1875. Secondly, she formed a small community (Christian Scientists Association) and discovered her first church (Church of Christ, Scientists) as a pastor leading the publication in 1879. One of her six followers, she married his name Eddie in 1877. The Asa Vortex passed away in 1882. Mary Beck Eddie devoted the rest of her life to establishing the Church (the metaphysical institution and the Mother's Church, which led to a new name in 1892: in the First Church of Christ, scientists) and revising the "key" Bible's textbooks on science and health in religion.
Finally, Mary Beck Eddie pulled back to the public and contributed to her movement through his writings. The Constitution, written in her church, and the Mother Church Handbook of the Church, remain the foundation of global institutions for the Christian scientific movement.
She founded the Christian Science Monitor, now known as the Christian Science Journal, the Christian Science Sentinel and 17 Language Publishing, and a pioneer in Christian science.
