Comments Off on The Fifth Gospel (DSO Translation) (Lectures Section)

After a shattering struggle to arrive at the truth, Steiner presents here the findings of spiritual research regarding the life of Jesus before the Baptism and the life of Christ after the Baptism. Among the scenes described are Jesus in the Essene community, the conversation between Jesus and Mary before the Baptism, Jesus discovering the reverse Lord’s Prayer, and the temptation of Christ after the Baptism.

Comments Off on Aus der Akasha-Forschung. Das Fuenfte Evangelium (Lectures Section)

In seinen Vortragsreihen über die vier Evangelien gab Rudolf Steiner seinen Zuhörern tiefe Einblicke in den spirituellen Gehalt dieser Offenbarungsinhalte. Im Verlaufe dieser Vortragstätigkeit kam es auch zu Darstellungen von geisteswissenschaftlichen Forschungsergebnissen über das eigentliche geschichtliche Leben des Jesus von Nazareth bis zur Jordantaufe. Diese Forschungsergebnisse bezeichnete Rudolf Steiner als «Fünftes Evangelium», oder auch als «Evangelium der Erkenntnis». Zu den hauptsächlichsten Motiven der Vorträge gehören: Kindheits-und Jugenderlebnisse des Jesus von Nazareth — Seine tiefen Erkenntnisleiden am Versiegen der alten großen Geistesströmungen — Die Offenbarung des makrokosmischen Vaterunser — Die Beziehung zu den Essäern und zu Johannes dem Täufer — Erlebnisse auf dem Gang zur Jordantaufe.
