Christian Science Journal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Christian Science Journal is an official monthly publication of the Church of Christ, Scientist through the Christian Science Publishing Society, founded in 1883 by Mary Baker Eddy. Written chiefly for Christian Scientists, as opposed to the Christian Science Sentinel, the Christian Science Monitor (an award-winning newspaper) and Christian Science Herald, it includes articles written from a metaphysical angle of Christian Science, with editorials, church news items, testimonies of healing, and listings of Christian Science churches, practitioners, nurses, and Committees on Publication. The magazine saw an interval of controversy when in 1992 its editors resigned en masse to protest the church's publication of the book The Destiny of The Mother Church by Bliss Knapp. In subsequent years it changed its style somewhat to accommodate a greater openness to the general public. Some members regard these changes as a useful new liberalism while other members see the changes as compromising basic Christian Science teachings.
