One of the wonderful experiences of my Waldorf teacher training was reading aloud Rudolf Steiner’s Fifth Gospel transcripts, with a group of friends, aloud, round-robin style, in a comfy living room. We read a chapter each night over the 12 Days of Christmas. If you've done this, you may also have felt the pull to draw closer to this material. I certainly did. The object of the present volume is to increase enjoyment for fans of the original lecture transcripts and for use in study groups over end-of-year holidays.
Dr. Steiner’s aim was to update the biography of Jesus of Nazareth, in light of the expanded intellectual understanding of karma and reincarnation accomplished in the West since 1880. Further, the imaginative capacity of humankind, and increased ability to process metaphor, demonstrated by Depth Psychology and Carl Jung, activity parallel to Steiner's efforts in time, makes possible this portrait of Jesus of Nazareth and what he transformed into. RS's Fifth Gospel remains the most psychologically astute portrait of Jesus of Nazareth this author is aware of.
Rudolf Steinerís Fifth Gospel In Story Form is one of the best things I ever did. I wanted to give it a chance to be better known. It's function seems to be to help persons who have lost the thread of their own Christ consciousness, to their own Divinity inside and to find ways to pick up their own thread again and follow it. The Fifth Gospel heals many immature and plain innaccurate ideas about Jesus of Nazareth. It is the most psychologiclaly mature portrait of Jesus I know of.
Rudolf Steiner lectured several times, in several cities, on a body of information, apparently in the Akashic Records, regarding the life of Jesus of Nazareth. According to him what he found there was a series of “story book images” apparently approximated quite closely and faithfully by children's Sunday School images of the life of Christ and also by some stained glass images of the Stations of the Cross. If you know Steiner, you won't be surprised to hear he went further to peer into, behind, under and round these facades and first penetrate this inner reality and then articulate it in modern langauge for modern minds.
His lecture transcripts of these investigations were published verbatim in a book called The Fifth Gospel, but this basic clairvoyant research was never edited except for verbatim accuracy, is in no way chronological nor gives any attention at all to building a mood.
Several additional unpublished lecture transcripts, in typescript form, were also known to exist and may still be available to public from specialized libraries. ALL these are here collated into a single chronological narrative in Rudolf Steiner's Fifth Gospel In Story Form. Supporting and bridging material to the narrative is drawn from Emil Bock’s The Three Years to fill in some gaps.
