Description
Christianity as Mystical Fact is a seminal study by Rudolf Steiner that explores the Christ event as the turning point in the world's spiritual history. In this work, Steiner examines the idea of Christianity as a breakthrough in human evolution, where the mysteries and results bring about a prior evolutionary stage.
Written in 1902, this book represents a watershed moment in the development of Western esotericism. Steiner drew on his lectures given to members of the Theosophical Society during the fall and winter of 1901-1902, and reworked them into this comprehensive work.
The title "Christianity as Mystical Fact" reflects Steiner's approach, which seeks to show how Christianity came into being from a mystical awareness. This book offers a unique perspective on the emergence of Christianity, highlighting the role of spiritual happenings in its development.
