A fascinating Chronological Index







I find it very interesting that there is, at the back of our book, Mary Baker Eddy Mentioned Them, there is a list of the people mentioned, as listed in chronological periods.  Thus:

  • Classical Times
  • Early Christian Period
  • The Renaissance, Reformation and Elizabethan Age
  • Identified with 17th Century
  • identified with 17th and 18th Centuries
  • Identified with 18th Century
  • Identified with 18th and 19th Centuries
  • Identified with 19th Century
  • Identified with 19th and 20th Century

Ed. Joyce photocopied the Index for our readers, but the images were rather small once set in the blog, so here is just a taste -- transcribed for book club readers.
