- Summary:
- "This book compares the biblical story of creation to human embryonic development. Kaspar Appenzeller leads us through his years of research into the enormous images of Genesis and relates them to what science has to say today about the origin of the human body. He comes to the concrete view that man is a small cosmos, a microcosm compared to the big world, the macrocosm. The original Hebrew language proves to be a true marvel; not only the meaning but also the individual sounds of the words illustrate the reality they describe. One is confronted with the fact that the writer of this text has touched on the real educational impulses of the world and humanity. This book is based on the insights of Rudolf Steiner"-- Provided by publisher.
