Television, radio, magazines, and newspapers today do more than entertain and give the news. They bring to the attention of the public a surprising range of new issues that must be considered.
Ordinary people are now finding themselves having to think about questions in the fields of science, theology, and medicine. And more and more, people see that these questions have a practical bearing on their own everyday lives.
In the words of the Preface to Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, "The time for thinkers has come." In this month's Journal, therefore, we begin a new series in the Threshold section: "Thinking about Christian Science and..." These articles will usually alternate with the series "Theology and healing."
The first article in the "Thinking about..." series explores a Christian Science perspective on Biblical scholarship. And in succeeding months we will include articles bringing the spiritual and metaphysical perspective of Christian Science to the new physics, the arts, business ethics, the computer revolution, and many other topics.
