10 hours (10 60-min audiotapes) Class: 1986, Cazenovia, NY Level: SUBJECT(s): The Structure of the Christian Science Textbook RELATED BOOKS: Max Kappeler, The Structure of the Christian Science Textbook—Our Way of Life, Vol. I: Revelation of the Structure Max Kappeler, The Development of the Christian Science Idea and Practice Max Kappeler, The Pioneer of Truth is Blessed Max Kappeler, "Stately Science Pauses Not…" (Mary Baker Eddy) Overview of C-2 Series: In the C-1 series of recordings, students are introduced to the divine structure of the Textbook. In this C-2 series, Kappeler outlines the exact method that enables a student of Science to get beyond personal interpretations of a revealed text and discover its divinely objective structure. Using Chapters I–V in the Textbook as a working example, these classes teach the fundamental method of spiritually scientific text-interpretation:     1) How to discern the spiritual structure of the text based on the categories of divine Being.     2) How the Textbook presents its spiritual symphony, and how to distinguish the leading tones and elements within the symphony—the method of epitomizing.     3) How to work with the spiritual structure to answer questions intrinsic to the subject, as well as practical implications for daily living. This program is for more advanced students of Science. A comprehensive understanding of the divine system of reference, or completion of the Syllabus program, is recommended. SYNOPSIS of C-168: In this set of lectures, Kappeler discusses the historical development of the fundamental ideas out of which the Christian Science movement arose. It includes the history of Mary Baker Eddy's revelation and subsequent writing of the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. He defines the work of John W. Doorly and examines the impact of these developing ideas on Christian Science practice and healing.
