Lectures and Articles on Christian Science (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

A dedicated and enthusiastic worker in the early Christian Science movement, Edward Kimball was prolific in lectures and articles. This compilation of his writings was put together by his wife and daughter and published in 1921 (and again in 1961).

The lectures and articles are focused on explaining aspects of Christian Science to the general public at the time of their writing. These are followed by his addresses to Christian Science audiences who already understood the basic concepts, so he spoke in a bit more depth. The last chapter consists of letters and snippets of letters about Christian Science to his students and friends.

This book is a record of the work of one dedicated Christian Scientist. But Kimball would not have wanted anyone to believe the concepts of Christian Science were original to him.
