Main work

The main work of the publisher is Das ist mein Wort - Alpha und Omega , written by Gabriele Wittek, the "Bible" of universal life. Wittek's book claims in the subtitle to be the Christ revelation, "which the true Christians all over the world now know" (former subtitle: The Christ revelation, who does not know the world ). It contains the apocryphal Gospel of the perfect life , written by Gideon JR Ouseley (1835–1906) and translated by Werner Zimmermann (first published in 1933, the text was revised for Wittek's work.) Ouseley stated in a letter in 1897 that “he had the text received medially with the help of his theosophical mentors Anna and Edward Maitland as well as the spirits of Emanuel Swedenborg and his brother Placidus ”. The structure and content are based on the Gospel of Luke, but it focuses on reincarnation , vegetarianism, love of animals and alcohol abstinence. Whether the text goes back in whole or in part to the ancient gospel of the twelve is controversial. The identity of the ancient script is also not proven beyond doubt.

Wittek adds his own comments, which unfold the theology of the community, in over 400 places with the repetitive text module “I, Christ, explain, correct and deepen the word”. The publisher thus claims not only to be able to publish new revelations of Jesus for today, but also to be able to interpret, interpret and correct the biblical teaching on the basis of a scripture that is equivalent to the Bible. The book was previously published as a free download .

Other works

The work Who is sitting in the chair of Peter? has no literature references. The information it contains is intended to portray the leaders of the Catholic Church as "idolaters."

Criticism of major Bible translators

The publisher criticized important historical Bible translators on posters that were posted in German cities in the winters of 2005/2006 and 2006/2007 in train station areas . Thus Martin Luther as a "misanthrope" and Jerome called "Bible Counterfeiters".

Participations and cooperations

The publisher has a 100 percent stake in its subsidiary Radio Santec and through this in the music publisher Santec Music GmbH and in the production company Santec Media GmbH . Radio Santec broadcasts Wittek's messages in several languages ​​via short and medium wave programs (from January 2011 only web radio). Radio Santec also operates the television program SOPHIA TV . The publishing house Das weisse Pferd , which publishes a magazine of the same name and literature by other authors from the field of universal life, is also located at the same postal address .
