A comprehensive study of the Beatitudes from Rudolf Steiner's Complete Works and the ancient Greek of St. Matthew's Gospel. Rudolf Steiner revealed a new aspect to the Gospels, profoundly deepening the way we understand Christianity; he demonstrates that it has a cosmic dimension, and that this hidden side is pointed to in the Gospels themselves. Dr. Anderson's scholarship in ancient Greek has enabled him to pioneer a new modality in New Testament studies: the Initiatory Critical Analysis approach. His academic studies found evidence in the original Greek texts of a hidden layer of meaning, which confirms that the Gospels have an esoteric, cosmic understanding of the Christ. Rudolf Steiner's teachings are explored on the basis of this new, spiritually-informed mode of assessing the Greek text of the Beatitudes. All of Rudolf Steiner's teachings in published lectures and archive documents on the Beatitudes are presented here, together with a valuable commentary on these lectures by Dr.
