Christianity as Mystical Fact and the Mysteries of Antiquity

De: Rudolf Steiner

Narrado por: Graham Dunlop

“As simultaneously mysticism and fact, Christianity is a breakthrough in the historical development of humanity, for which the mysteries, with the results that they brought about, form a prior evolutionary stage.”

Rudolf Steiner

During the fall and winter of 1901–02, Steiner gave a series of lectures called “Christianity as Mystical Fact” to members of the Theosophical Society. The lectures were rewritten and issued as a book later that year. They mark a watershed in the development of Western esotericism. Steiner wrote of the idea behind his book:

“The title Christianity as Mystical Fact was one I gave to this work eight years ago, when I gathered together the content of lectures given in 1902. It was meant to indicate the special approach adopted in the book. Its theme is not just the mystical side of Christianity in a historical presentation. It was meant to show, from the standpoint of a mystical awareness, how Christianity came into being."

I have enjoyed this program

This reading is nicely done. It is much better than the other version that audible offered first. The earlier version starts out great but turns into an unacceptable Trainwreck because the reader didn't proof and edit the end of the performance.

This book is a great exploration of the influence of Platonism on the development of human thought that would result in Christian mysticism. air is good stuff and the reader's performance is consistent and professional. But this version.
