Caesars and apostles

Utilizing the spiritual research of Rudolf Steiner, Bock attempts to penetrate outer historical events in order to expose the spiritual undercurrents and impulses that shaped Greco-Roman civilization and later Judaism. In particular, the role of the Essenes receives remarkable prominence given that Bock was writing prior to the discoveries of the Dead Sea Scrolls.In the second half of the book, Bock investigates the esoteric biographies of some of the key figures surrounding Jesus Christ, and demonstrates how their destinies were significantly affected by their encounters with the being of Christ.
