New series to start next month in the Journal
There are as many ways to study the weekly Bible Lesson as there are individuals studying it. A new 12-part series in the Journal, "How I Study the Lesson-Sermon," will share with the Field some distinctive individual approaches to exploring the Bible Lesson. Written by Christian Scientists with many years of study and spiritual research behind them, these statements will appear anonymously as excerpts from letters.
An article by the Bible Lesson Committee entitled "Our Lesson-Sermons" opens the series and constitutes the first installment.
The object of this series is to indicate the great diversity of means available to a Christian Scientist working with the lesson. "There is no one way," is a message that comes through very clearly. Another is that the Lesson-Sermon is not a human invention but the Word of God revealed, that it has inexhaustible depths waiting to be discovered.
This brief but in-depth focus on the Lesson-Sermon— its preparation and the ways some Christian Scientists study it each week—begins with the January issue of the Journal and will appear every month during 1973.
