Progressive Study Program

The progressive study program categorizes selected Kappeler books by their spiritually scientific complexity, and is divided into three sections: Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced.

Within each section are three categories:

  • Core Recommendations. The Core contains the essential elements for a basic understanding of Science. Reading the Core within each section will provide you with the minimum number of study materials necessary to progress to the next section.
  • Related Classes. These recorded lectures cover the same or related topics presented in the literature in the first column. Selecting at least one recorded lecture within each section will significantly improve your understanding of the topics being presented in the literature.
  • Additional Literature. This category contains additional study materials appropriate to that section. Select these items if you wish to gain a fuller understanding of Science before moving on to the next section, or if you want to study certain topics in more depth.

Do not feel that you must strictly adhere to these recommendations—feel free to choose items that appeal to you. Our suggestions are best used as a compass rather than a curriculum. Allow your selections to reflect your background, interests, and goals in Science. Ultimately you are guided by the self-evolution of understanding of the Christ-idea.
