It is well

The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

    There was an interesting side note to “it is well” at thisisyourbible.com, “[The Shunammite woman] was intent on seeing Elisha. The phrase it is well is the simple Hebrew greeting, Shalom. She gives a peremptory response to Gehazi who seems to be attempting to intervene and prevent her from going directly to Elisha. In response to his queries, she in effect says, yes, yes, yes or Shalom, shalom, shalom and she probably didn’t slow down as she spoke. . . . . Gehazi’s anger indicates that he did not appreciate her direct approach to Elisha.” Article titled “The Nameless Woman of Shunem, what can you say about her?”
