More significant for Christianity than the twentieth-century Dead Sea and Nag Hammadi discoveries is the growing North American awareness of Rudolf Steiner's works. No Bible commentary has yet reflected the remarkable spiritual insights of Anthroposophy. In The Buring Bush, Edward Reaugh Smith combines his own extensive traditional biblical knowledge with his years of concentrated study and reflection on hundreds of assembled works by Steiner. The result is the first Bible commentary in the light of anthroposophic insight.This volume is based on the anthroposophic understanding given to humanity by Rudolf Steiner during the first twenty-five years of the twentieth century. The dramatic newness of anthroposophic thought means that the usual method of Bible commentary is not appropriate here. Much of The Burning Bush is devoted to laying an anthroposophic, or spiritual-scientific, groundwork. A major assumption indulged in most Bible commentaries--that one can go directly to portions dealing with given passages of scripture and understand what is being said about them--does not fit.Moses' vision of the bush burning on the mountain (Exodus 3:1-3) was profoundly seminal for each of us on our long, parabolic journey from the spiritual world into the valley of the shadow of death (Psalm 23:4), in which we have bodies of matter that die, until we can perfect them in our return journey.In this 3rd edition of The Burning Bush, each of the numerous citations to Steiner's works is updated according to the new Collected Works (CW) volume numbers. Steiner's works, in German, comprise 367 volumes, archived in Dornach (near Basle), Switzerland. The volume numbers are provided for all Steiner references, whether or not yet published in English.The Burning Bush is the foundation of the Edward Smith's five-volume series on the biblical message in the light of Rudolf Steiner's Spiritual Science. The other volumes are David's Question: "What Is Man?" (Psalm 8) (2001); The Soul's Long Journey: How the Bible Reveals Reincarnation (2003); The Temple Sleep of the Rich Young Ruler: How Lazarus Became Evangelist John (2011); and Revelation: A Cosmic Perspective (2015).The numerous citations to Steiner's works have been updated in this edition according to Collected Works (CW) volume numbers, as well as cities and dates for lectures. Steiner's works, in German, comprise approximately 367 volumes, archived in Dornach, Switzerland.

Notes from 16 lectures, Munich and Oslo, Apr. 22, 1907-May 21, 1909 (CW 104a); 1 lecture in Paris, June 14, 1906 (CW 94)"In the New Testament it says that the second coming of Christ will occur in the realm of the clouds. What Steiner's lectures make clear is that some of these clouds will be very dark, bringing thunder and lightning." -- James H. HindesWe can be overwhelmed by the fearsome pictures of our current world situation, which reflect powerful spiritual events taking place today. This book is based on notes written down at 16 lectures given in 1907 and 1909, presenting Rudolf Steiner's masterful account of the meaning of the most esoteric book in the Bible. They instruct a practice and inner training in reading the signs of the times, so that we can prepare responsibly and in full consciousness to meet the challenges that humanity is facing now and in the future.In aphoristic, intense sections, Steiner surveys the sweep of world history on a cosmic scale. His penetrating interpretation of the Apocalypse shows how the human soul will evolve and change through the present and coming great conflagrations.Themes include- the nature of the third millennium;- Sorat and the significance of the number 666;- the War of All against All;- the Second Coming of Christ;- the true nature of the "I";- how future possiblities will depend on our present actions."The Apocalypse of Saint John, when properly understood, expands our conception of Christianity to cosmic proportions again. It reveals in images―in a kind of picture language―the deepest secrets of earthly and human evolution. These images contain the power of the Word, the Logos. Taken into the soul, they transform; over time, they can initiate. This is the connection between the Apocalypse and the work of Rudolf Steiner, who said that simply hearing and reading the results of anthroposophical research can gradually transform the human soul and awaken in us the ability to perceive the spirit."
