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.

Ich habe in dem ersten Hefte dieser Abhandlungen auf die schweren Ubelstande, welche der herkommlichen augenarztlichen Nomenklatur anhaften; und auf die Notwendigkeit...
