The Mystery of the Trinity
Rudolf Steiner e.Lib Document
Lectures Section
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.

and social life,” demonstrate the presence of theology in the
anthroposophical world view.
These eight lectures are from the lecture series entitled,
The Mystery of the Trinity and the Mission of the Spirit.
They were published in German as,
Das Geheimnis der Trinitat. Der Mensch und sein Verhaeltnis zur
Geistwelt im Wandel der Zeiten.
They are presented here with the kind permission of the Rudolf Steiner
Nachlassverwaltung, Dornach, Switzerland. From Bn/GA 214.
