Description
Summary:Fired by the spiritual investigations of Rudolf Steiner and by his wide reading of occult and mythological traditions, Emil Bock helps us to understand the great cosmic pictures of Genesis. He builds bridges between the biblical imagery of the Creation and our everyday modern scientific understanding of evolution and history. His interpretations in no way diminish the majesty of the events. They deepen our appreciation of Genesis as an outstanding work of art. As the dramatic figures of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Jacob abd Joseph pass before our eyes, we learn how each of their lives was related to hidden mystery knowledge. A curtain hiding deep riddles of Genesis is withdrawn with the appearance of the initiate Melchizedek, whose spiritual influence far exceeds his brief meeting with Abraham. Melchizedek was the messenger of the sun-mysteries whence sprang all new beginnings.
