Genesis
Creation and the Patriarchs
Quick Look
Interprets the majestic events of Genesis for our modern-day understanding.
Description
The biblical author of Genesis wrote in great cosmic images. The dramatic figures of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Jacob and Joseph pass before our eyes, each in turn revealing hidden mystery knowledge.
Emil Bock's gift is to interpret these majestic events for our modern-day understanding, without diminishing them. He brings his wide reading of the occult and mythological traditions, as well as the spiritual investigations of Rudolf Steiner, to bear on the texts, deepening our appreciation of Genesis as an outstanding work of art, relevant to the world of today.
