Describing the environment into which Saul was born--his education, his conversion before Damascus, and his subsequent journeys--Bock's study gives a truly spiritual dimension to Paul's background, offering a deeper understanding of this great Christian and his teaching. Above all he shows that Paul was the apostle who carried Christianity beyond the Jewish communities and to humanity as a whole. As a zealous Jew, Paul had been convinced he was serving the coming Messiah through his persecution of Jesus's followers, but when the light suddenly came to him near Damascus, his innermost...

Emil Bock interprets John's rich pictorial language, which is often found harsh and mysterious, helping the reader understand that John deals with the universal problems of spiritual development. This is not merely a detailed commentary on the Apocalypse but a profound and encouraging examination of human needs in today's world. Bock shows how we can read The Revelation to understand Christ's position as leader through danger, both in the present and in the future.

In an age when much of the Bible is considered irrelevant, it may be the prophets of the Old Testament who are proclaimed least relevant of all. What significance could such obscure historical figures have for our modern world? At best, they are may be thought of as examples of moral uprightness and devotion. Emil Bock, on the other hand, asserts that they are very relevant indeed. Bock shows that the true pulse of the spirit of the age was beating among the Israelite Hebrews of the final pre-Christian millennium. They were the brightly illuminated center of world history, a focus for...

In the course of his pioneering work in The Christian Community, Emil Bock made many studies of various aspects of the Gospels. Bringing his broad knowledge of the history of that time together with his deep insights in Anthroposophy, he offers fresh views of familiar stories in the New Testament. Volume 1 looks in particular at the relationship of the New Testament to the Old, as well as Matthew and the Sermon on the Mount, Judas and Peter. He concludes with Simon of Cyrene and Joseph of Arimathea.

The Gospel accounts of the birth and childhood of Jesus have puzzling discrepancies and contradictions that have, in general, been ignored by biblical scholars. In particular, Matthew and Luke give very different versions of Jesus' birth and the events that follow. A long obscured tradition has held that there were two families and two Jesus children--one from the kingly line of Solomon and the other from the priestly line of Nathan--whose destinies were to join and be fulfilled through the Divine plane. Emil Bock shows how the pattern and structure of the four Gospels support the...

"Als Grundstock der Lider ist bekanntlich die Fascia tarsoorbitalis zu betrachten, eine dichte sehnige Haut, welche, ringsum vom Periost des Orbitalrandes ausgehend, die Vorderoffnung der Augenhohle bis auf die quere Lidspalte abschliesst und daher auch Septum orbitale genannt wird. Die beiden Tarsi sowie das innere und das aussere Lidband sind eigentlich nur Verdichtungen dieser Aponeurose, keine selbststandigen Gebilde. Ich habe in dem ersten Hefte dieser Abhandlungen auf die schweren Ubelstande, welche der herkommlichen augenarztlichen Nomenklatur anhaften; und auf die Notwendigkeit...
