Prose Works Other than Science and Health

Prose Works other than Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, sometimes called Prose Works other than Science and Health or simply Prose Works, is a single-volume compendium of the major works of Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science, outside of her main work, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.[1] Also not included are Eddy's Church Manual, Poems, and Christ and Christmas.[2] The books included in Prose Works were never published together as a single volume during her lifetime but were assembled as a convenience around 1925. When published it became the most popular book printed by the Christian Science Publishing Society besides Science and Health and the Church Manual.[2] The constituent books have historically been published individually in parallel also. It has been issued in both hardcover and paperback.
