After years of inner struggle and rigorous self-examination, Steiner began presenting these insights publicly in 1913. He spoke with great care and restraint, fully aware of the responsibility involved, yet convinced that such knowledge was necessary for a new, conscious understanding of Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this series of deeply moving lectures, given in Oslo and five German cities, Steiner unfolds a coherent picture of Jesus’s earthly mission. He describes the existence of two Jesus children, the transfer of the Zarathustra-I, Jesus’s experience of the Essene community, and the profound inner suffering that prepared the way for the Baptism in the Jordan. Central moments – including the temptations in the desert, the sorrow over the decline of ancient Mystery paths, Jesus’s conversations with Mary, and the gradual union of the Christ-Being with the sheaths of Jesus of Nazareth – appear as stages in a cosmic drama of sacrifice and love. The Mystery of Golgotha emerges as the decisive turning point of Earth evolution: not merely an historical event, but the birth of a new cosmic impulse through which Christ united with the Earth. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis complete edition – the first to feature all eighteen lectures on the subject – includes an introduction by Tom Ravetz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGA: 148\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublisher ‏ : ‎ Rudolf Steiner Press\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublication date ‏ : ‎ 1 May 2026\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eLanguage ‏ : ‎ English\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePrint length ‏ : ‎ 340 pages\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 9781855846821\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eItem weight ‏ : ‎ 505 g \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rudolf Steiner Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57977508168064,"sku":"9781855846821","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0795\/3281\/8754\/files\/41efLkNdaGL.jpg?v=1777293480","url":"https:\/\/rudolfsteinerbookshop.co.uk\/products\/the-the-fifth-gospel","provider":"Rudolf Steiner Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
