Drawing on the ancient and often-forgotten sources of esoteric
Christianity, Valentin Tomberg reflects on the mysteries of
humanity's covenant with God in history. The power of these
meditations is that they reflect the author's personal spiritual
journey into the depths of God's kingdom within-within the soul,
within personal relationships, within nature and the cosmos. Part
one of Lazarus, Come Forth -"The Miracle of Raising Lazarus in
World History"-looks at an encounter with the Father through the
miracles of Creation and the Fall and through Moses and the Old
Testament Covenant and the Ten Commandments. Part two, "The Ten
Commandments: The Revelation on Mt. Sinai," is a meditation on the
seven miracles of Christ as described in the Gospel of St. John,
culminating in the raising of Lazarus, the miracle of being raised
from forgetfulness, sleep, and death to remembrance, wakefulness,
and resurrection. Lazarus thus becomes a paradigm for understanding
the spiritual and cultural history of humanity. In part three, "Thy
Kingdom Come: The Three Kingdoms of Nature, Humanity, and God," we
consider the encounter with the Holy Spirit and living out the life
of Christ through the Church. We are asked to reflect on the three
kingdoms of God, humankind, and nature, which give natural order
and meaning to the Christian life. The union of love and prayer in
the Spirit is the focus of the first section of part four, "The
Breath of Life," in which we are invited to see our natural
breathing as breathing the breath of God. And part four ends with
"Natural and Supernatural Images of the Holy Trinity," which
discusses the message of the starry heaven at night, the message of
the setting Sun, and the message of the birth of a new day. This
volume should not be missed by anyone with a serious interest in
esoteric Christianity or who merely wishes to go more deeply into
the meaning of the Holy Scriptures. A previous edition of this work
was titled Covenant of the Heart. It is a translation of Lazarus,
komm heraus. The current edition has been revised.
