Weekly Bible Lessons
A weekly Bible Lesson consists of Biblical citations and related
passages from Science and Health with Key to Scriptures by Mary Baker
Eddy that explain and amplify the Scriptural texts. The Lesson is divided
into several short sections. Many students study the Bible Lesson each
morning to uplift their thought and prepare them for the day.
Each week the Bible Lesson is on a different subject, drawn from a
list
of 26. Although the subjects repeat twice a year, each week's Bible Lesson
is fresh and new for that week. So a Lesson on "Truth" in August will be
entirely different from the lesson on "Truth" in February!
The King James Version of the Bible is currently used in the
preparation of the Bible Lesson. You should have a King James Version
available as you study the Lesson, although many students use other
translations in addition to further elucidate their study. The New
Testament in Modern English by J.B. Phillips and The Message by
Eugene Peterson are two favorites.
| There are several ways to
study the Bible Lesson. You may use the books themselves--the
Bible and Science and Health along with a small
periodical called The Christian Science Quarterly -- Weekly
Bible Lessons. The Quarterly contains the citations
to be read for each week's study, and includes three month's
worth of Lessons. Many Christian Science Reading Rooms maintain
a quiet study area with a set of books available for your use
during Reading Room open hours. Or you may purchase a copy of
the Quarterly to enable your own study at home. |

(In Fayetteville, you are welcome to use the
comfortable study area in our Reading Room. Our staff will be happy to show
how to get started. Current hours are Sunday mornings before and after the
10:30am church service and Wednesday evenings before and after the 7:00pm
testimony meeting.)
When it is not convenient to
study from the books, there is also the The Christian Science
Quarterly -- Weekly Bible Lessons -- Full Text Edition.
This more portable edition contains the full text of each
Lesson. Each issue contains one month's worth of lessons. You
can purchase the Full Text Quarterly from a local
Christian Science Reading Room or subscribe through the
Christian Science Publishing Society. You may also request a
free sample from the
spirituality.com online shop.
 The
Weekly Bible Lesson is also available online in a variety of formats,
including text, audio (including mp3 and iPod formats), and video.
There is also an online downloadable full-text edition of the Bible
Lesson designed specially for young people.
