Between individual characteristics and those of the human race in general lie the four main groups of human temperaments: phlegmatic, sanguine, melancholic, and choleric.

  by: Rudolf Steiner
  (12 lectures: Hamburg, May 1908; GA 103)
Steiner here lays the foundation for a new Christology out of his insights into the Gospel of St. John. He says it is not a book of instruction, but a force that can become active within our souls. As Marie Steiner says in her introduction, "With this book we penetrate into the innermost structure of Rudolf Steiner's activities. For all his endeavors had this one goal — to pave for the world the way to Christ."

Read Synopses!  The Gospel of St. Matthew     [ Edit ]  Reviews(0)
  Overview and Synopses
  by: Rudolf Steiner
  (12 lectures: Bern, September 1910; GA 123)
The four Gospels, Steiner says, are meant to supplement one another to form a comprehensive picture of earthly and spiritual events. The Matthew Gospel describes Christ Jesus in his human aspects so that he is more near to us in a human sense. From an understanding of the Gospel of St. Matthew "can stream into us courage in life, strength and hope in our labors."

What is Human Nature? How are body, soul, and spirit connected?
