Each week, students of Christian Science study
the weekly Bible Lesson from the Christian Science Quarterly. These
lessons address a specific topic and begin with a Golden Text and
a Responsive Reading. The body of the lesson consists of five to
seven sections,
each with a selection of citations from the Bible followed by correlative
citations from the Christian Science textbook, “Science &
Health with Key to the Scriptures,” by Mary Baker Eddy. The
six sections progressively develop the theme for the week.
Although there are twenty-six main subjects, which
are repeated twice a year, each lesson develops a unique and refreshing
aspect of that topic specifically relevant to the current day’s
need.
The Subjects for 2008 are:
