Spiritual Guidance of Mankind
GA 15

Reworked for publication from the content of three lectures given in June 1911 in Copenhagen, Steiner publicly presents for the first time his insight into the two Jesus boys and describes the path from Jesus of Nazareth to Christ. At the same time, this work presents the gods and heroes of mythology, the angels and Luciferic beings in their significance for the development of humanity. Thus, the theological question of the meaning of evil appears in a different light.
