Beginning at the turn of the century, Rudolf Steiner began to
express a passionate interest in Christianity. For him, the event
he called the "Mystery of Golgotha" is more than the central event
of Christianity; it is, in fact, the turning point in time for all
human and earthly evolution. In his Autobiography, Steiner
clarified his views on Christianity: "Some of what I said and wrote
during that period 1890s] seems to contradict the way I described
Christianity later on. This is because, when I wrote the word
Christianity, I was referring to the teachings of a "world beyond"
that was active in all Christian doctrines at the time. The whole
meaning of religious experiences pointed to a world of spirit, one
that was supposed to be unattainable by human intellect. Whatever
religion might have to say and whatever precepts for moral life it
might offer arise from what is revealed to human beings from
outside. My own direct, inner perception of spirit objected to
this; it wanted to experience the worlds of both spirit and the
physical in perceptions of the human being and nature. And my
ethical individualism objected to this. It rejected the external
support of commandments for morality; such support came instead as
the result of spiritual soul development within the human being,
where divinity lives. That was a trying time for my soul as I
looked at Christianity. This period lasted from the time I left the
Weimar work until I wrote my book Christianity as Mystical Fact.
These kinds of tests are obstacles, placed in one's path by destiny
(or karma), and they must be overcome through spiritual
development. In these talks, Rudolf Steiner offers his profound
insights into the essential truths behind the Christ event, as well
as the historic and prehistoric events-on Earth and in the
spiritual worlds-leading up to the turning point in time. He shows
that the ancient mysteries of the East, the Persians, the
Egyptians, the Greeks, and the streams behind those impulses-going
back to Atlantis and Lemuria-all lead to the event of Christ's
incarnation and the Mystery of Golgotha, through which the Earth
became the body of Christ. Further, Steiner talks about what those
events mean for the future of humanity and the Earth." The Gospel
of St. John and Its Relation to the Other Gospels is an essential
document in the literature of Christology and for understanding the
central place of esoteric Christianity in Anthroposophy.
