Rudolf Steiner needs relatively little introduction; a profuse orator, whose students translated and transcribed enormous numbers of lectures into booklets and books, the man is mostly known as a schismatic whose ideology deviated from the post-Blavatsky theosophical movement, leading to his founding of Anthroposophy.
This collection of lectures is mainly comprised of two basic parts; first, an exposition on the development of mankind in the ethnic sense (and attendant religious sense- that is, religions as discreet systems) and second the adjoining rise of various spiritual masters, taken more or less verbatim from Blavatsky, namely, Zarathustra, Gautama Buddha, and Jesus Christ. The work is a fascinating look at one of the self-proclaimed progressive systems of the early 20th century.
