Christ and Sophia
Anthroposophic Meditations
Valentin Tomberg

Christ and Sophia - Anthroposophic Meditations brings together three of the fundamental works produced by Valentin Tomberg, which previously had only been available as separate publications. These are Anthroposophic Meditations on the Old Testament, Anthroposophic Meditations on the New Testament, and Anthroposophic Meditations on the Apocalypse. In addition to these monumental and powerful essays are Tomberg's seven lectures covering The Four Sacrifices of Christ and The Reappearance of Christ in the Etheric.

In these astounding meditations on the esoteric nature of the Christian scriptures, Valentin Tomberg shows how the entire Bible tells the history of the Christ in human and world evolution. He describes all of human history as a cosmic and earthly preparation for the event of the Mystery of Golgotha. He shows the immense significance of that event and its results for humanity and for the world as a whole. He also demonstrates the central role of the Sophia being and her relationship to the Christ, to the Holy Spirit, to the disciples and Pentecost, and to all of humanity. Tomberg also explores the Grail nature of Christ's involvement in earthly history.

This is an invaluable resource for anyone who wants to gain a deeper understanding of Rudolf Steiner's spiritual scientific approach to esoteric Christianity as exemplified by Tomberg's close, meditative reading of the Bible, from Genesis to the Revelation of John.

Valentin Tomberg was an individual who was deeply inspired by the works of Rudolf Steiner and one whose own powers of insight and skills of communication made him a stellar, and sometimes controversial, figure in the anthroposophical community in the years following Steiner's death. The writings and lectures reveal an original and energetic quality which is scarcely matched by a rare few of the anthroposophical publicists in the history of the movement.
