Mary Baker Eddy
Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science, is often cited as having used Quimby as inspiration for theology. Most scholars agree that Christian Science does reflect Quimby's teachings. For a time Eddy was a patient of Quimby’s and shared his view that disease is rooted in a mental cause. But as her understanding of Christ Jesus’ approach to healing developed over the years, her concept of life and healing grew further and further away from Quimby’s. Because of its theism, Christian Science differs from the teachings of Quimby.
