The Christian Science Journal was founded in 1883 by Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, with the mission “to put on record the divine Science of Truth.” In her words, the “Journal is designed to bring health and happiness to all households wherein it is permitted to enter, and to confer increased power to be good and to do good."
