Jesus, the Last Great Initiate


Book Description

JESUS, The Last Great Initiate by Edouard Schure is a philosophical and esoteric examination of the life of Jesus Christ. In this concise book Schure asks the central question 'How did Jesus become the Messiah?' In answering his own question Schure states in his Preface that - 'It is by means of this esoteric light, the inner flame of all religions, the central truth of all fruitful philosophy, that I have attempted to reconstruct along its main lines, the life of Jesus, taking into account whatever previous historical criticism has hitherto cleared and prepared the ground.' The author offers insight into some of the transcendent truths revealed by the Master Jesus as a way to interpret and decipher the great mystery around Jesus' mission on Earth. By referring to biblical accounts throughout his text Schure maintains a spiritual-philosophical treatise that is grounded in historical and literary context. And along the way, some interesting suggestions are offered to the attentive reader.

Jesus, the Last Great Initiate


Book Description

It is by means of this esoteric light, the inner flame of all religions, the central truth of all fruitful philosophy, that I have attempted to reconstruct along its main lines, the life of Jesus, taking into account whatever previous historical criticism has hitherto cleared and prepared the ground. No need to define what I mean by the esoteric point of view, the synthesis of Religion and Science. Concerning the historical and relative value of the Gospels, I have taken the three synoptical Gospels (those of Matthew, Mark, and Luke) as a basis, and that of John as the arcanum of the esoteric teaching of the Christ, at the same time acknowledging the subsequent language and form, and the symbolical tendency of this Gospel.




Jesus, the Last Great Initiate


Book Description

An esoteric look at the life of Jesus, considered to be the ultimate, in a long line of Occult Initiates. Edouard Schure was a French mystic and author who influenced Rudolph Steiner, the German founder of Anthroposophy. The author, like Steiner, viewed Christ as both an historical individual and as a manifestation of the divine in the human realm. Schure dimensionalizes his 'Essene' Jesus by relating key points in the story in an almost first-person fashion.
