For centuries people have been baffled by the four different accounts of Christ's life given in the four Gospels and have struggled to reconcile them. In these profound and stimulating lectures the great spiritual visionary Rudolf Steiner deals with this perplexing problem. He shows how each of the Gospels presents a different lens onto Christ's life and message.Here Steiner focuses on Matthew, revealing it as the Gospel that most emphasizes the humanity of Christ. But Steiner does not stop there. With his visionary perspective, he traces Christ's life and message to spiritual impulses that go back centuries and even millennia -- to the legendary civilization of Atlantis, to the mysterious figure known as Zarathustra or Zoroaster, and to the Jewish sect known as the Essenes. An introduction by Richard Smoley, author of the forthcoming Inner Christianity, puts Steiner's vision into perspective for the modern reader.
