The Event of the Appearance of Christ in the Etheric World
Steiner boldly announces the central 20th century spiritual event: the true nature of the second coming of Christ is His appearance to human beings in the etheric world, not His return in a physical body. The experience of Paul at Damascus will be repeated for more people. Humanity is challenged not to sleep through this event. Other related themes covered here are the etherization of the blood and the three realms of the dead.
The lectures appearing in this volume were selected from the Collected Edition of Rudolf Steiner's works in German. For complete bibliographic information, please refer to the back of the book.
