The Christian Science Publishing Society (CSPS) was established in 1898 by Mary Baker Eddy and is the publishing arm of The First Church of Christ, Scientist in Boston, Massachusetts. It is located, along with the Mary Baker Eddy Library, in the Publishing Society building at the Christian Science Center in Boston's Back Bay. It is the primary publisher of the writings of Mary Baker Eddy and other Christian Science literature -- all of which is available in Christian Science Reading Rooms around the world.
In addition to Mary Baker Eddy’s works, biographies, inspirational books and study materials, they publish a number of periodicals, including: the monthly The Christian Science Journal, the weekly Christian Science Sentinel, The Herald of Christian Science which is published in many international languages, and the Christian Science Quarterly Bible Lessons. "The Quarterly" comprises a topical series of citation references from the Bible and Mary Baker Eddy’s Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. These citations are used for individual study during the week, and as the Sunday sermon read in Christian Science church services around the world.
The CSPS also publishes the well-known international daily newspaper The Christian Science Monitor. The Monitor is a secular newspaper, with the exception of one religious article in each issue.
The CSPS is managed by a three person Board of Trustees which is under the authority the Christian Science Board of Directors.
