Christianity and the Ancient Mysteries Reflections on Rudolf Steiner's Christianity as Mystical Fact by Charles Kovacs

In 1902 Steiner wrote Christianity as Mystical Fact and the Mysteries of  Antiquity, showing the evolutionary development from the ancient  mysteries, through the great Greek philosophers, to the events portrayed  in the gospels. Steiner saw the Christ event as the turning point in  the world's spiritual history -- an incarnation whose significance he  saw as transcending all religions. Charles Kovacs brings his deep  knowledge of esoteric writings, mythology and Steiner's lectures to give  more background and to show how the way for Christianity was prepared  in the ancient pre-Christian mysteries of Egypt and Greece. He discusses  the symbolic and real events of the gospels, as well as looking at some  of the understandings and disputes of the early Christians. The book is  illustrated with Kovacs' own colour paintings.   ISBN:       9781782504474      Publication Date:       January 30th 2018
