Overview of C-1 Series:
For over 60 years, Max Kappeler presented the structure of the Christian Science textbook through books, lectures, and classes, showing the divinely structured layout of each chapter. Kappeler's premise is that Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy, is a revealed text and contains the whole of Christian Science. Read atomistically (sentences read out of context), the divinely inspired structure is missed. Our challenge is to understand Mrs. Eddy's revelation in its Science, something that can only be achieved through understanding the Textbook's spiritual system and structure. Once John W. Doorly pointed out the fundamental categories of the scientific system of Christian Science, it became possible for Kappeler to interpret the entire Textbook as a divinely structured, coherent story. This story leads the student through an evolution of understanding and consciousness in an uninterrupted, ordered way, from the first page to the last. This spiritual story is our ordered way of life and our teacher.
SYNOPSIS of C-1P: Kappeler discusses how, from Chapter I through Chapter XI, we have grown to the degree of understanding that enables us to let the Christ-idea demonstrate itself in every situation. Now, in Chapter XII, we "practice" by accepting that a scientific understanding of ideas is real health. Part I (Love & Mind) shows the attitude of the true practitioner; Part II (Truth & Mind) shows what the practitioner knows in treatment; Part III (Life & Soul) shows the practitioner's unchanging method in treatment; Part IV (Love & Spirit, Truth & Spirit, Life & Spirit) show Love, Truth, and Life reflected in the patient's case.
