The Mystery of the Trinity

Good condition has some light yellow highlighting and writings in the margins on a dozen pages or so

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. Using examples from Dionysius the Areopagite, Scotus Eriugena, Paracelsus, and Goethe, Steiner places the evolution of consciousness and the task of the Michael age in a Christian context.

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.
