Anthroposophy

Is anthroposophy scientific? Is it Christian? Is it compatible with the Bible? This fundamental investigation examines anthroposophy's claim to scientific validity as well as its reference to the Bible, its understanding of Christ, and its approach to the "divine-spiritual world." Other topics discussed include the Akashic Records, initiation, syncretism, reincarnation and karma, and meditation.
Some reviews:
"I am very pleased with the clarity of the presentation and the theological assessment."
Prof. Dr. Reinhard Slenczka, University of Erlangen
"I worked my way through the book with enthusiasm. It is excellent in every respect, clear, coherent, insightful."
Prof. Dr. Dr. habil. Armin-Ernst Buchrucker, University of Frankfurt / Main
"A great success! This work turns anthroposophy on its head."
Prof. Tadayoshi Johannes Araki, Seigakuin University, Tokyo
This comprehensive fundamental study of Rudolf Steiner's anthroposophy is based on Lothar Gassmann's doctoral thesis. He has revised it so that it is also understandable to readers without theological training. The anthroposophical teachings are presented objectively and fairly, and then thoroughly evaluated and refuted on an empirical and theological level.
