How was the world created? Battle lines are currently drawn between
two dogmatic camps: the fundamentalist 'Creationists' who believe that
creation took place in six days, and the scientific reductionists who
expound theories of 'big bangs' and so on. From a direct spiritual
perception of the facts, Rudolf Steiner presents a new perspective
which transcends these bipolar arguments. He affirms that clairvoyant
research accords with the biblical descriptions, but he emphasizes
that the text of Genesis has to be interpreted in a special way.
In this extraordinary document, Steiner speaks of the six days of
creation as a reawakening of the previous phases of the Earth's
development. He describes the work of mighty spiritual entities called
the Elohim, and how they co-operated with other spiritual hierarchies
in the creation of Earth. He also clarifies the relationship of the
Elohim and the biblical Jehovah.
In addition, Steiner discusses themes of light and darkness, the
meaning of Adam and Eve, the 'day of rest' on the seventh day, the
stages of human development on Earth, and the special character of the
Hebrew language. Also featured in this new edition is a previously
unpublished introductory lecture on the meaning of mystery drama.
