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.
