Synopsis

"The Resurrection was neither a miracle, in the sense of a magical breaking of the laws of nature, nor a deception. It is so difficult for us to 'think' the Resurrection of Christ, because our conception of the physical world and matter is so mechanical and simplistic. It usually does not occur to us that the laws of nature, which are the expression of hardening processes, can also be reversed by the creative power of the Son God" (James Hindes, from Renewing Christianity). For Rudolf Steiner, Christ's incarnation and death on Golgotha were central events in earthly and cosmic history. Humanity, he said, would evolve in time toward a spiritual awareness of Christ's presence in creation, and the individual would no longer need "institutionalized" religious beliefs.

In this concise introduction to Steiner's ideas, the author also describes the Christian Community, which Steiner helped to establish as a movement for Christian renewal.
