Our human consciousness and individuality - and our potential for freedom of choice - is possible because we have a physical body, separate from the spiritual realm. But for human beings to continue to develop, we need to reconnect to the divine world.

The incarnation, death and resurrection of Christ is what makes this reconnection possible. This profound book, a collection of lectures by Christian Community priest Michael Kientzler, discusses this central mystery of Christianity. He explores the nature of resurrection, and how it ultimately leads to human redemption or salvation.

This is a thoughtful, insightful book for those interested in spiritual and inner development.

Michael Kientzler was born in Hannover, Germany, where he attended the local Waldorf School.
