Is anthroposophy scientific? Is it Christian? Is it compatible with the Bible? This fundamental investigation examines anthroposophy's claim to scientific validity as well as its reference to the Bible, its understanding of Christ, and its approach to the divine-spiritual world. Other topics discussed include the Akashic Records, initiation, syncretism, reincarnation and karma, and meditation.
Some reviews:
I am very pleased with the clarity of the presentation and the theological assessment.
Prof. Dr. Reinhard Slenczka, University of Erlangen
I worked my way through the book with enthusiasm. It is excellent in every respect, clear, coherent, insightful.
Prof. Dr. Dr. habil. Armin-Ernst Buchrucker, University of Frankfurt / Main
A great success! This work turns anthroposophy on its head.
Prof. Tadayoshi Johannes Araki, Seigakuin University, Tokyo
This comprehensive fundamental study of Rudolf Steiner's anthroposophy is based on Lothar Gassmann's doctoral thesis. He has revised it so that it is also understandable to readers without theological training. The anthroposophical teachings are presented objectively and fairly, and then thoroughly evaluated and refuted on an empirical and theological level. From the contents:
A. What characterizes the essence of anthroposophy? -
B. What does anthroposophy criticize about previous approaches to the Bible? -
C. How does the anthroposophical path of knowledge seek to enable access to higher worlds? -
D. Is the Akashic Records the judge of the Bible? -
E. Is spiritual interpretation the salvation of the Bible? -
F. How does anthroposophy understand the composition and unity of the Bible? -
G. Is the Bible a book of initiation and meditation? -
H. Is the Bible a time-bound and relative entity? -
I. Does Elohim refer not to one God, but to many gods? -
J. Are reincarnation and karma found in the Bible? -
K. Do two genealogies of Jesus point to two Jesus boys? -
L. Is the Christ path a mystery of the self? -
M. Was Lazarus the author of the Gospel of John? -
N. Was Paul the first ether seer? -
