 The
Gospel of St. John
& Its Relation to the Other Gospels
14 lectures by
Rudolf Steiner
The Gospel of St. John and
Its Relation to the Other Gospels has to a certain
extent been neglected in the English-speaking world. Only one
edition has ever been published in the English language, and
that was as late as 1948. When that first American edition was
exhausted it was never reprinted until 1982, when the cycle is
appeared again in a revised translation. Yet it could reasonably
be considered as the most comprehensive of all Steiner's cycles
on the Gospels, covering as it does a very wide range of topics,
and placing the Christ event in the perspective of the whole of
earthly evolution in such a way that the cycle can be used even
as an introductory work for beginners. It covers many of the
subjects discussed in the much more popular 1908 cycle on the
Gospel of St. John given at Hamburg, but never in exactly the
same manner. Thus there is relatively little duplication between
the two cycles, while the later lectures in this beautiful
cycle, especially those on what is meant by the overcoming of
death by Christ are unique among Steiner's lectures, and ought
not to be missed by any student of Anthroposophy.
