Threefold Mary Av Emil Bock

This precious little book contains three lectures -- "The Mystery of the Virgin Mary in Body, Soul, and Spirit" -- presented during the Christmas Holy Nights of 1950/51. On November 1, 1950, Pius XII proclaimed the Dogma of the Assumption--Mary's bodily assumption into heaven--which sent shock waves throughout the Christian world. C.G.Jung, for example, wrote his Answer to Job in response. Emil Bock's response was these lectures, which answer some of the issues and broaden the scope to include not only the Mary-Sophia mystery in human history, but also the meaning of the feminine element in the evolution of consciousness. Anyone interested in an anthroposophic perspective on Mary in body, soul, and spirit will gain much from this book.
