A lifetime of studying and teaching the Bible, in a restless search
for its deeper meaning, eventually lead Edward IL Smith to a
reference to Rudolf Steiner. With characteristic intensity and
skilled research techniques from careers as a tax lawyer and
successful business person, Smith works to bring the insights he
discovered in anthroposophy, or spiritual science, to the heart of
mainstream Christianity. In The Burning Bush, the first volume of
his anthroposophical commentary on the Bible, the author began this
immense task.
This book focuses on the Nativity and the amazing events that
offer not only hope to all humanity, but a way to understand the
significance of the bible as the story of human development from
the far distant past into the far distant future.
If ultimately there is only one reality, then neither religion nor
science can be fulfilled until they come together on a higher
plane. In this second volume of his authoritative, anthroposophical
commentary on the Bible, Edward Reaugh Smith shows that there is no
difference between true science and the divine intelligence sought
by true religion. The model for such a union of science and
religion is the spiritual science developed by Rudolf Steiner. In
this union, the things the senses show us about the physical world,
though keenly observed and allowed to speak for themselves instead
of being abstracted into theories, are seen to be images of the
spiritual world: "As above, so below".
Drawing on his extensive knowledge of the Bible, Smith shows
that anthroposophy provides unique insights about the biblical
account. The heart of this volume is in the essays "Fire" (where
Earth and Heaven meet), "Light" (first form of corporeality from
which all else follows), "Blood" (meeting point of inner and outer
worlds), and "What Is Man" (how beings of the higher worlds form
the earthly vehicle for the human being).
