How Can Mankind Find the Christ Again?
GA 187

Steiner examines the inner history of Christianity, explaining its relationship to ancient Judaism, Hellenism, Romanism, Gnosticism, and Egypto-Chaldean initiation. He describes the hidden spiritual battle raging today and the need for a renewal of the mysteries in a modern form. Today's road to Christ must involve a new formative thinking, whose Christian character is shown in the advent of selflessness, health, and a sense for truth.

These eight important lectures were published in German as, Wie Kann die Menschheit den Christus Wiederfinden? Das Dreifache Schnattendasein Unserer Zeit und das Neue Christus-licht. Translated by: Olin D. Wannamaker, Frances E. Dawson, Gladys Hahn
