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-1R: Chapter XIV explains how divine Principle expresses itself through a scientific system of metaphysics. Science has a Christ, and the office of the Christ in Science is to reduce or translate the divine Principle to a system of ideas which can be taught, learned, demonstrated, and lived. In its first form, this chapter appeared as a separate booklet entitled "The Science of Man," and was used by Mrs. Eddy for Class Instruction. Here Mrs. Eddy expounds the divine Principle and its operation that underlies every single chapter in the Textbook. This chapter has a very symmetrical layout. The 24 questions and answers are divided into four groups of six questions and answers each. We find that there are six questions and answers that depict the Word, six the Christ, six Christianity, and six Science.
