Review: Christ in Relation to Lucifer and Ahriman

Christ in Relation to Lucifer and Ahriman Christ in Relation to Lucifer and Ahriman by Rudolf Steiner
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Steiner's Christian mysticism bringing Ahriman from antiquity into a relationship with Christ seems a stunning and bold suggestion for today. I believe his ideas are presented in this sculpture. It seems like has a connection to a remote past and draws upon legends and myths more than The Bible. This suggests a fatalistic need for Europe and Asia (Russia, etc.) to meet in predestined struggle. Perhaps at the time, this helped make sense of WW I.
