 The
Gospel of St. Luke
10
lectures by Rudolf Steiner
The Gospel of St Luke
lectures presents the most accessible and illuminating of
Rudolf Steiner's
revelations with regard to Christ, and his significance for humanity's spiritual
development.
Steiner explores the link between Buddha and the life of Christ, a
description that unites Buddhism and Christianity, not in theory but in
perceived spiritual deeds of these two figures. Here, too, Steiner describes the
relationship of the Greek Mystery traditions to the event at Golgotha.
Utilizing a historical overview, revealing the relationship between the great
religious traditions, and how they have conspired together for the good of
humanity, Steiner never loses sight of the gospel's great inner meaning, as
echoed in the Gospel of St. Luke: "The revelation of the spiritual worlds
from the Heights and its answering reflection from the hearts of men brings
peace to all whose purpose upon the evolving Earth is to unfold good will."
Though Steiner was born with
clairvoyant capacities, it was not until his fortieth year that he could link
his inner experiences with the principal figure of Western spirituality, Jesus
Christ. After that "solemn festival of knowledge," as he describes it in his
autobiography, he engaged himself in numerous spiritual examinations in order to
understand for himself and to convey to others
the significance and detailed course of the Christ's incarnation. In lecture
cycles spanning two decades, he spoke of the hidden background to all four
gospels, the
Book of Revelations, and even the
Fifth Gospel of
events that he read directly from spiritual worlds.
