{"product_id":"9780880105002","title":"David's Question: \"What Is Man?\"","description":"If, ultimately, there is only one reality, then neither religion nor science can be fulfilled until they come together on a higher plane. In this second volume of his authoritative, anthroposophical commentary on the Bible, Edward Reaugh Smith shows that there is no difference between true science and the divine intelligence sought by true religion. The model for such a union of science and religion is the spiritual science developed by Rudolf Steiner. In this union, what the senses show us about the physical world -when keenly observed and allowed to speak for itself instead of being abstracted into theories - become images of the spiritual world: \"As above, so below.\"\u003cp\u003e  Drawing on his extensive knowledge of the Bible, the author shows us that anthroposophy provides unique insights into the biblical account.
