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.

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.

Set against the backdrop of 1956, this unpublished text by Valentin Tomberg explores his journey towards understanding life's profound questions following his conversion to Catholicism.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 profound spiritual themes, this work delves into the connections between the seven healing miracles in John's Gospel, the days of creation, and the sacraments. It examines the dualities of forgetting and remembering through the lens of Lazarus's resurrection, emphasizing awakening and renewal. The final section reveals the transformative idea that Christianity embodies the continual resurrection of Divine-Human History, highlighting the universal church's role in this ongoing spiritual journey.

Exploring profound themes from his life, the book reflects on the origins of law and the soul's quest for certainty, framed as a "path through the wilderness." Tomberg revisits essentialism through analogical knowledge, engaging with symbols from Jewish kabbalah and the Catholic Church. He emphasizes the spiritual hierarchies and pays homage to Rudolf Steiner, highlighting their influence on his thought. The narrative culminates in insights on Divine Law, symbolized by the transfiguration of darkness into light on Mt. Sinai, marking a significant moment in Tomberg's spiritual journey.
