Lazarus

<p>This final masterwork of Valentin Tomberg (1900-1973) consists of three parts. Part I The Seven Miracles of John's Gospel probes deep correlations between the 7 Healing Miracles the 7 Days of Creation and the 7 Sacraments. Part II The Miracle of the Raising of Lazarus juxtaposes the mysteries of forgetting sleep and death with those of remembering awakening and resurrection as a prelude to the eternal words: Lazarus Come Forth! Part III The Miracle of Lazarus in Divine-Human History leads to the blinding insight that Christianity is nothing other than the ongoing resurrection of the <em>totality</em> of Divine-Human History the <em>Ecclesia universalis</em>.</p>
