DISCOVERING SCIENCE AND HEALTH And its author

A spiritual resource for dealing with terrorism

From the October 2004 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Terrorism. Say the word and people tend to think of death and danger, whether in Jerusalem, Baghdad, New York City, Madrid, Oklahoma City, or some other location. And with that word come feelings of helplessness.

A young man I interviewed just after the Gulf War was assigned to be part of a convoy crossing an area that was mined. But where were the mines planted? Terrorism is like that. Some parts of a block might be safe, but other parts aren't. Which ones? That's the question he had to answer for himself in the war zone that night. And he chose to answer it by studying the Bible Lesson in the Christian Science Quarterly, which includes selections from the Bible and from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy.

The psalms of protection in the Bible offer assurance of God's care, and there is a Science that supports this protection.
