The Gospel of St. Matthew is a book written by Rudolf Steiner that delves into the spiritual and mystical aspects of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament of the Bible. In this book, Steiner offers insightful interpretations of the teachings of Jesus Christ as presented in the Gospel of Matthew, with a focus on the deeper spiritual meanings and symbolism behind the text. Steiner's approach is grounded in his belief in anthroposophy, a spiritual philosophy that emphasizes the development of human consciousness and the understanding of spiritual realities. The book is a valuable resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the teachings of Jesus and the spiritual significance of the Gospel of Matthew.This volume contains a course of twelve lectures given by Rudolf Steiner at Berne, September 1-12, 1910, all of which concern the gospel in one way or another.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Rudolf Steiner (1861 1925) was born in the small village of Kraljevec, Austro-Hungarian Empire (now in Croatia), where he grew up. As a young man, he lived in Weimar and Berlin, where he became a well-published scientific, literary, and philosophical scholar, known especially for his work with Goethe s scientific writings. At the beginning of the twentieth century, he began to develop his early philosophical principles into an approach to systematic research into psychological and spiritual phenomena. Formally beginning his spiritual teaching career under the auspices of the Theosophical Society, Steiner came to use the term Anthroposophy (and spiritual science) for his philosophy, spiritual research, and findings. The influence of Steiner s multifaceted genius has led to innovative and holistic approaches in medicine, various therapies, philosophy, religious renewal, Waldorf education, education for special needs, threefold economics, biodynamic agriculture, Goethean science, architecture, and the arts of drama, speech, and eurythmy. In 1924, Rudolf Steiner founded the General Anthroposophical Society, which today has branches throughout the world. He died in Dornach, Switzerland.
