Strictly speaking, Science and Health is not considered a "holy book" by
Christian Scientists.  Enlightened commentary would be a more apt descrip-
tion.  Mary Baker Eddy enjoyed no "special" relationship with God in the
sense that such a relationship could not be attained by anyone else.  She is
not considered a "prophet" in the traditional sense, merely the founder
of the church.
