Chapters
|
|
Preface
The
time for thinkers has
come. Truth, independent
of doctrines and
time-honored systems,
knocks at the portal of
humanity.
|
|
|
Chapter
1 -
Prayer
The
prayer that reforms the
sinner and heals the
sick is an absolute
faith that all things
are possible to God,
— a spiritual
understanding of Him, an
unselfed
love.
|
|
|
Chapter
2 - Atonement and
Eucharist
Atonement
is the exemplification
of man's unity with God,
whereby man reflects
divine Truth, Life, and
Love.
|
|
|
Chapter
3 -
Marriage
May
Christ, Truth, be
present at every bridal
altar to turn the water
into wine and to give to
human life an
inspiration by which
man's spiritual and
eternal existence may be
discerned.
|
|
|
Chapter
5 - Animal Magnetism
Unmasked
Animal
magnetism has no
scientific foundation,
for God governs all that
is real, harmonious, and
eternal, and His power
is neither animal nor
human.
|
|
|
Chapter
7 -
Physiology
Science
not only reveals the
origin of all disease as
mental, but it also
declares that all
disease is cured by
divine Mind.
|
|
|
Chapter
8 - Footsteps of
Truth
The
scientific unity which
exists between God and
man must be wrought out
in life-practice, and
God's will must be
universally
done.
|
|
|
Chapter
9 -
Creation
A
finite and material
sense of God leads to
formalism and
narrowness; it chills
the spirit of
Christianity.
|
|
|
Chapter
10 - Science of
Being
Matter
and Mind are opposites.
One is contrary to the
other in its very nature
and essence; hence both
cannot be
real.
|
|
|
Chapter
14 -
Recapitulation
Science
reveals Spirit, Soul, as
not in the body, and God
as not in man but as
reflected by man. The
greater cannot be in the
lesser.
|
|
|
Chapter
15 -
Gensis
Creation
is ever appearing, and
must ever continue to
appear from the nature
of its inexhaustible
source.
|
|
|
Chapter
16 - The
Apocalypse
The
twelfth chapter of the
Apocalypse, or
Revelation of St. John,
has a special
suggestiveness in
connection with the
nineteenth
century.
|
|
|
Chapter
17 -
Glossary
In
Christian Science we
learn that the
substitution of the
spiritual for the
material definition of a
Scriptural word often
elucidates the meaning
of the inspired
writer.
|
|
|
Chapter
18 -
Fruitage
I
have been benefited in
every way by Christian
Science, physically,
mentally, and
spiritually, and would
not be without my
understanding of it for
anything.
