Christ and Sophia: Anthroposophic Meditations on the Old Testament, New Testament, and Apocalypse
Valentin Tomberg was born in St. Petersberg in 1900 into a Lutheran family. He entered the Russian Christian esoteric tradition at an early age, strongly influenced by Vladimir Soloviev and a personal experience of the Sophia at a Cathedral in Holland. Under the auspices of the Anthroposophical society (which he left around 1940) he lectured in Holland and England, and wrote works based on his esoteric understanding of the Bible and Christianity. He later converted to Catholicism, resided in England, and worked for the BBC while devoting his time to meditation and writing. He died in Majorca in 1973.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
