The Burning Bush
Rudolf Steiner, Anthroposophy and the Holy Scriptures: Terms & Phrases
Edward Reaugh Smith

Even more significant for Christianity in the long run than the twentieth-century Dead Sea and Nag Hammadi discoveries is the growing American awareness of the works of Rudolf Steiner.

Virtually unavailable until the end of the twentieth century, English translations from the German archives are gradually coming into print. No Bible commentary has yet reflected the remarkable spiritual insights of anthroposophy.

Now, ten years after first encountering a written comment about Rudolf Steiner, The author combines his own extensive traditional biblical knowledge with years of concentrated study and reflection on hundreds of assembled works by Steiner. Because of its radical newness, The Burning Bush, as an introductory volume, deviates from the ordinary commentary mode. It presents a series of essays on terms and phrases of critical importance to a deeper comprehension of the Bible's message.
