Lectures

Lectures are a perfect introduction to Christian Science. As you read them, you begin to exchange faith in God for an understanding of Him. You learn of your relationship to Him and why prayer can transform consciousness and heal. The Christian Science Board of Lectureship was first established by Mary Baker Eddy. Church members, appointed to lecture, traveled throughout the world lecturing to audiences as many as 10,000 people. An auditorium was often filled an hour before the lecture, and people were turned away. It was not unusual for those in the audience to experience healing during a lecture. Most lectures include accounts of extraordinary healings and tell of the prayerful work that brought about the healing. Certain lecturers were favorites because they had such a winning way of explaining Christian Science and showing how its healing power can be applied to problems common to us all. Many of these lectures are as fresh and inspiring today as when they were first delivered in crowded halls throughout the world. Listed below are special collections of lectures that explain the basic concepts of Christian Science and give examples of its healing power. Many of these healings were experienced by the lecturer or were the result of his prayerful support of someone in need of healing. These lectures show how practical Christian Science healing is. As you can see, we do not ignore our problems or withdraw into a secluded life of meditation to escape them. We heal them by knowing what Christ Jesus knew. This Science enables us to face our problems and solve them through scientific prayer. We learn to improve our health, supply, and relationships by spiritualizing our thought about them. Lectures are an important part of our heritage. They are an education in divine metaphysics for both those new to Christian Science and for those who want the pure and simple truth eloquently and correctly presented. The accounts of phenomenal healings, usually included in each lecture, are always sources of encouragement and instruction There is a large selection of outstanding lectures available for downloading on our website in the download section.
