Book Details + Condition: Anthroposophical Publishing Company (London). First Edition, 1959. Scarce. Hardcover with blue cloth boards; gilt to spine and front. 159 pages with Advertisements. In the book, 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 spiritual hierarchies in the creation of Earth and clarifies the relationship of the Elohim and the biblical Jehovah. More from The Rudolf Steiner Archive: "Steiner describes the formative work of the Elohim, as well as other spiritual beings, in this detailed study of the seven days of creation as recorded in the Book of Genesis. He explains the reality behind Jehovah, variant translations from the Hebrew, and the correspondence of the Genesis account with the anthroposophical description of the evolutionary periods. This translation has been made by Dorothy Lenn with the assistance of Owen Barfield from the revised edition of the German text-published under the title, 'Die Geheimnisse der biblischen Schöpfungsgeschichte.'"
