Marlène F. Johnson Fund for Scholarly Research on Christian Science Grant
The Marlène F. Johnson Fund provides grants to individuals for worthy scholarly projects on Christian Science history, teaching, religious practice, healing ministry, and church experience. The purpose of this financial support is to enable grant recipients to give substantial time to the research and writing involved in these projects.
The grant program reflects the underlying spiritual perspective of the Fund. Fund officers are committed Christian Scientists and members of the Church of Christ, Scientist. Like all the Fund’s initiatives, however, the grant program was established to promote serious and legitimate scholarly work, not merely apologetics for a religious viewpoint.
Irrespective of their religious or academic background, the Fund seeks in grant applicants the same basic respect for the subject that has characterized the most insightful scholarly studies on other religious groups, from Perry Miller’s on Puritans several generations ago to Stephen Stein’s on Shakers or Jan Shipps’ on Mormons in recent decades.
In some cases, the subjects are proposed by individual applicants; in others, by the Fund.
Funding
The maximum grant is $20,000. The number of grants given in any given year is limited.
