{"product_id":"9781855846821","title":"The Fifth Gospel","description":"\u003cp\u003eThrough his intuitive reading of the Akashic Record – the living\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ememory of Earth and cosmos – Rudolf Steiner described\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003edimensions of the life of Jesus Christ that extend beyond the four\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ecanonical Gospels. After years of inner struggle and rigorous selfexamination,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSteiner began presenting these insights publicly in\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1913. He spoke with great care and restraint, fully aware of the\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eresponsibility involved, yet convinced that such knowledge was\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003enecessary for a new, conscious understanding of Christ.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this series of deeply moving lectures, given in Oslo and five\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGerman cities, Steiner unfolds a coherent picture of Jesus’s earthly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003emission. He describes the existence of two Jesus children, the\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003etransfer of the Zarathustra-I, Jesus’s experience of the Essene\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ecommunity, and the profound inner suffering that prepared the way\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003efor the Baptism in the Jordan. Central moments – including the\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003etemptations in the desert, the sorrow over the decline of ancient\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMystery paths, Jesus’s conversations with Mary, and the gradual\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eunion of the Christ-Being with the sheaths of Jesus of Nazareth –\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eappear as stages in a cosmic drama of sacrifice and love. The Mystery\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eof Golgotha emerges as the decisive turning point of Earth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eevolution: not merely an historical event, but the birth of a new\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ecosmic impulse through which Christ united with the Earth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis complete edition – the first to feature all eighteen lectures on\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ethe subject – includes an introduction by Tom Ravetz.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"RUDOLF STEINER PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47557571706932,"sku":"9781855846821","price":70.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/9390\/2132\/files\/9781855846821.jpg?v=1777068957","url":"https:\/\/woodslane.com.au\/products\/9781855846821","provider":"Woodslane","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
