Publisher's Synopsis
The book presents a collection of 26 Bible lessons -- one per week for half a year -- each one fully printed for about 45 minutes of reading. The lessons were designed as Lesson-Sermons to be read Christian Science churches during the Sunday church services and during the week, for individual study. The Bible lessons presented here comprise the historic first set, produced in 1898. The biblical texts are interspersed throughout the lessons with corresponding brief elements from Mary Baker Eddy's book, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. While this book is widely referred to as the textbook on Christian Science, it is also a part of a much larger pedagogical structure that Mary Baker Eddy had created for discovery, and for scientific and spiritual development in Divine Science. The purpose of this presentation is to take the historic Christian Science Bible lessons, which came from a rich period in history, and move them beyond their specific role as a one-time Lesson-Sermon, into the wider sphere of scientific exploration in universal Divine Science.
