	And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac,
  	and unto Jacob by the name of God Almighty;
  	but by My name Jehovah ...was I not known to them. — Exodus. 

  	      All things were made by Him;
  	and without Him was not anything made that was made. 
  	In Him was life; ...and the life was the light of men. — John. 

 1	    Scientific interpretation of the Scriptures prop-
  	erly starts with the beginning of the Old Testa-
 3	ment, ...chiefly because the spiritual import of	                            Spiritual
  	the Word, in its earliest articulations, often	                            interpretation 
  	seems so smothered by the immediate context as to
 6	require explication; whereas the New Testament narra-
  	tives are clearer and come nearer the heart. Jesus il-
  	lumines them, showing the poverty of mortal existence,
 9	but richly recompensing human want and woe with
  	spiritual gain. The incarnation of Truth, that amplifi-
  	cation of wonder and glory which angels could only
12	whisper and which God illustrated by light and har-
  	mony, is consonant with ever-present Love. So-called
  	mystery and miracle, which subserve the end of natural
15	good, are explained by that Love for whose rest the
  	weary ones sigh when needing something more native
  	to their immortal cravings than the history of perpetual
18    evil. 

 1	    A second necessity for beginning with Genesis is that
  	the living and real prelude of the older Scriptures is s...o
 3	brief that it would almost seem, from the	                              Spiritual
  	preponderance of unreality in the entire nar-	                              overture 
  	rative, as if reality did not predominate over unreality,
 6	the light over the dark, the straight line of Spirit over
  	the mortal deviations and inverted images of the creator
  	and His creation. 

 9	    Spiritually followed, the book of Genesis is the history
  	of the untrue image of God, named a sinful mortal. T...his
  	deflection of being, rightly viewed, serves to	                                 Deflection
12	suggest the proper reflection of God and the	                                 of being 
  	spiritual actuality of man, as given in the first chapter
  	of Genesis. Even thus the crude forms of human thought
15	take on higher symbols and significations, when scien-
  	tifically Christian views of the universe appear, illuminat-
  	ing time with the glory of eternity. 

18	    In the following exegesis, each text is followed by its
  	spiritual interpretation according to the teachings of Chris-
  	tian Science.
