The Christian Science Journal is an official monthly publication of the Church of Christ, Scientist through the Christian Science Publishing Society, founded in 1883 by Mary Baker Eddy.[1] The first edition appeared on April 14, 1883, bearing the subtitle, "An Independent Family Paper to Promote Health and Morals".[2] At that time, Eddy was the editor and main contributor to the Journal.[3] The magazine is based in Boston.[4]
The Journal is designed to demonstrate the practical applications of Christian Science healing practice. Instructive articles and verified reports of Christian healing give the reader a working understanding of the Principle and practice of Christian Science.[5][6] Each issue also contains editorials, interviews, church news, poems, as well as a worldwide directory of Christian Science practitioners, teachers, churches, Reading Rooms, organizations at universities and colleges, and more.[1][7] Two sister publications exist: the Christian Science Sentinel, a weekly magazine; and The Herald of Christian Science, which is published in a number of foreign languages.[8]
