The Gospel of St. John: (CW 103)
- Used Book in Good Condition
During Pentecost 1908â€•seven years after he had given the world his book Christianity As Mystical Fact and the first intimation of the consequences of his Christ experienceâ€•Rudolf Steiner began his great work of renewing humanity's understanding of the Mystery of Golgotha and its meaning for human and earthly evolution. Accordingly, he turned to the deepest, most spiritual of the Gospelsâ€•that of the initiate St. John.

In this lecture course, readers will find that the incarnation, death, and resurrection of the Divine Word, or Logos, reveals the mission of the Earth: Love. We learn of the mysteries behind Lazarus' resurrection, the "I AM" sayings, and the seven degrees of initiation. We come to understand that the Gospel of St. John is a continuing spiritual presenceâ€•to be recalled, meditated, and permeated with one's own life. In doing so, we realized that our purposeâ€•and that of all humankindâ€•is to become the Virgin Sophia, a receptical for the Holy Spirit.

All of Steiner's work, as Marie Steiner writes in her introduction, was "to pave the way to Christ." Indeed, at the conclusion of these lectures, Rudolf Steiner said:
It will come to be understood that Christianity is only beginning its influence and will fulfill its real mission only when it is understood in its true, spiritual form.... The more these lectures are understood in this sense, the better they will be understood as they were intended.
This volume is essential if one is to truly understand Rudolf Steiner's understanding of esoteric Christianity and its place in the world today and in the future.
