In these exciting lectures, Rudolf Steiner explores the practical
consequences of Christian theological spiritual facts as they unfold
in human consciousness. Starting with the early Gnostic understanding
of the Christ event from within, Steiner shows how medieval theology
reached an exoteric view of the spiritual world. It was this view,
coupled with the rise of abstract intellectuality, that led to the
separation of faith and knowledge, which denied humanity access to
suprasensory worlds within accepted Christian theology. Using examples
from Dionsyius the Areopagite, John Scotus Eriugena, Paracelsus, and
Goethe, Steiner then lays the foundations for a path to the suprasensory
that would unite faith and knowledge, through the spirit, in a full
trinitarian understanding of the human being and the cosmos.
Steiner shows, through meditation, how we can begin to understand the
cosmic origin of the human being and the meaning of The Mystery of
Golgotha for humanity and the cosmos. Above all, he stresses, meditation
will allow us to realize the foundations of true knowledge: Ex deo
nascimur (We are born of God); In Christo morimur (In
Christ we die); Per spiritum sanctum reviscimus (Through the
Holy Spirit we are reborn).

These eight lectures are from the lecture series entitled,
The Mystery of the Trinity and the Mission of the Spirit.
The first four lectures deal with the development of theology from a
spiritual scientific point of view. Starting with the early Christian
“gnostic” understanding of the Christ event from within,
Steiner shows how medieval theology came to an “outer” view
of the spiritual world that, coupled with the rise of abstract
intellectuality, led to the separation of faith and knowledge.
The last four lectures, given in Oxford (and London) against the background
of the Manchester College conference on “spiritual values in education
and social life,” demonstrate the presence of theology in the
anthroposophical world view.
These publications also contains lectures from GA 214
