Rudolf Joseph Lorenz Steiner 1861-1925 was an Austrian occultist, social reformer, architect, esotericist, and claimed clairvoyant. Christianity as a Mystical Fact is a fundamental work and shows how Christianity arose out of what was prepared in the pre-Christian Mysteries. Christianity, however, was not merely a further development of what existed in these Mysteries but something unique and independent. From an examination of the ancient Mysteries, Steiner goes on to discuss the Gospels, the Lazarus miracle, the Apocalypse of St. John, Jesus and his historical background, and more. This book is a foundation for what Steiner later more fully develops concerning the nature of Christ and Christianity. Book is very good++ and bright. Nice clean contents. Page edges lightly foxed.
