Martha Moffett has devoted her career to solving problems through the application of law, both human and divine law. After receiving an undergraduate degree from Smith College and a law degree from Boston University, she became a trial lawyer with the United States Department of Justice in Washington, DC. There she worked in the antitrust division and was part of a government team that prosecuted antitrust violations in federal court. She also served as a special assistant United States attorney in Alexandria, Virginia, prosecuting federal crimes from indictment through jury trial and sentencing. After three years, she went into the private practice of law at a large firm in Washington, DC, where she specialized in complex securities litigation and white collar crime.
While her husband was assigned to the Middle East for three years for The Christian Science Monitor, Martha was the Jerusalem staff attorney for the New York–based Lawyers Committee for Human Rights. In this capacity she visited Palestinian prisons and refugee camps and met with Israeli officials to address human rights concerns. She also worked in an Israeli law firm in the area of international law.
During all this time, she was developing a deeper interest in another kind of law: the law of God that Christ Jesus applied with such consistent healing results. Through studying the Bible and Mary Baker Eddy’s book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Martha’s understanding of this divine law increased until she left her law practice to devote full time to the public practice of Christian Science healing.
A number of the healings she has had through the application of God’s law have been shared on the Christian Science Sentinel Radio program.
While in the Middle East, Martha took advantage of opportunities to literally dig into biblical history. She participated in an archeological dig at the biblical site of Bethsaida, a city that Christ Jesus visited and from which three of his disciples came. And she took courses in biblical archeology in Jerusalem.
Martha and her husband live in St. Paul, Minnesota.
