The Gospel of St. Luke

The following lecture-course was given by Rudolf Steiner to an

audience familiar with the general background and

terminology of his anthroposophical teaching. It should be

remembered that in his autobiography, The Course of My

Life , he emphasises the distinction between his written works

on the one hand and, on the other, reports of lectures which

were given as oral communications and were not originally

intended for print. For an intelligent appreciation of the

lectures — and very specially so in the case of those contained

in the present volume — it should be borne in mind that

certain premises were taken for granted when the words were

spoken. ‘These premises,’ Rudolf Steiner writes, ‘include, at

the very least, the anthroposophical knowledge of Man and of

the Cosmos in its spiritual essence; also what may be called

“anthroposophical history”, told as an outcome of research

into the spiritual world.’

On each of the Gospels Rudolf Steiner gave more than one

special course, as well as innumerable lectures on the

mysteries connected with the figure of Christ-Jesus in celestial

and earthly history. All these courses and lectures lead into

the deepest secrets of Christianity and as well as the earlier,

fundamental work, Christianity as Mystical Fact , are

indispensable for reference at every stage of the study of

Spiritual Science.

A list of publications in English translation relevant to the

themes of the following lectures, and a summarised plan of

the Complete Centenary Edition of Rudolf Steiner's works in

the original German will be found at the end of the present

volume.
