This series of twelve studies is, in a certain sense, a continuation of the studies on the Old Testament. Just as the latter work focused on the origin of the karma of humankind, this work concentrates on the healing of this karma. In the course of these studies, the author offers deep insights into the spiritual-moral aspects of the nine beatitudes, the Lord's Prayer, the signs or miracles in the Gospels, the Stages of the Passion, and the Mystery of Golgotha -- culminating in the event of Pentecost.

Valentin Tomberg's journey from St. Petersburg to becoming a prominent legal scholar reflects a profound transformation in his philosophical outlook. After converting to various Christian denominations, he shifted from humanistic studies to a Platonic understanding of knowledge and medieval realism. His 1944 dissertation critiques the decline of natural law in favor of legal positivism, which he views as a degeneration of legal principles. Tomberg advocates for a restructured academic approach to law that reinstates higher levels of legal understanding and restores the foundational ideals of justice.

Set against the backdrop of 1956, this unpublished text by Valentin Tomberg explores his journey towards understanding life's profound questions following his conversion to Catholicism. It captures a pivotal moment in his intellectual evolution, where he seeks to articulate a method for achieving authentic certainty. Tomberg's reflections aim to guide others on their quest for truth, addressing the universal dilemmas that humanity grapples with, and offering insights into the processes of spiritual and philosophical inquiry.

Exploring the evolution of international law amidst the backdrop of the Cold War, Tomberg delves into its historical roots and relevance in the quest for world peace, particularly in light of contemporary conflicts like those in Ukraine and Palestine. He critiques the degeneration of modern law, drawing on Thomas Aquinas's framework of eternal, natural, and positive law. Rather than merely diagnosing issues, Tomberg proposes pathways for the regeneration of law, aiming to inspire a renewed commitment to justice and peace in an increasingly turbulent world.
