Inspiring weekly podcast

Children of God --

at every age and stage

November 14 - 20

- with John Tyler

In biblical times, to know the father was to know the son. And that sheds light on how important it is to be identified as the child of our divine Father, God. This week's guest shares some healing experiences that show the importance of understanding who we really are as the spiritual creation of God.

​Monthly podcast from the Mary Baker Eddy Library

"The Bible as revolutionary text in America"

In this episode, Professor Seth Perry explores key aspects of his book Bible Culture & Authority in the Early United States (Princeton University Press, 2018). He brings to life the influence of American Bible printing on the early generations of a new republic.

Through important advances in printing technology, American Bible publishers created a mass market for their product, empowering readers with a greater sense of their own authority in interpreting the scriptures. Moreover, their printings reinforced the concept of “text” - rather than institutions like the monarchy - as representing the ultimate authority in a democratic republic. In our discussion, Dr. Perry draws from a course he teaches at Princeton to explain how Mary Baker Eddy and her book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures connect to the overall landscape of American Bible culture.
