Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.
The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.
Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.

Here are the 10 books that the Monitor's critics judged to be at the top of the heap this month.
Richard Ford returns for a fourth time to the world of Frank Bascombe, the fictional character he has carried through "The Sportswriter," the Pulitzer Prize and PEN/ Faulkner-winning "Independence Day," and "The Lay of the Land." Still living in suburban N.J and still working in real estate, the four linked stories in "Let Me Be Frank with You" show Frank dealing with the impact of Hurricane Sandy. You can see the Monitor's full review of "Let Me Be Frank with You" here.
