Search Books by Abbreviation or Author

This is the same search box as the top of the main search page - it's here so the instructions below have somewhere to sit without crowding that page.


    How it works

    Start your search with one of the abbreviations below, followed by a word or phrase, to search only that book - e.g. SH stubborn will searches only Science and Health, and CW finance searches only Collected Writings. Put a phrase in quotes, e.g. SH "o friendly hand", to search for those exact words together.

    Start instead with an author's name, followed by a word or phrase, to search everything by that author - e.g. Young day searches all of Bicknell Young's writings, not just one book.

    This is a plain word/phrase search, the same kind as the box above - not a page:line citation lookup. For citations like "SH 340:1-12", use Search Mrs. Eddy's Books (with line numbers) instead.
