The Prologue of the Gospel of St. John

The Prologue of the Gospel of St. John: Esoteric Studies

This small booklet offers a thoughtful and meditative exploration of the profound opening verses of the Gospel: “In the beginning was the Word…”

Drawing upon the spiritual-scientific insights of Rudolf Steiner, Maron-Wild examines the Prologue as a revelation of cosmic creation, the nature of the Logos, and the incarnation of Christ. The text unfolds the layered meaning of these verses—moving from philosophical interpretation to living spiritual experience.

Readers are guided to consider:

• The meaning of the Logos (“the Word”)
• Light and darkness in spiritual evolution
• The relationship between cosmic creation and human consciousness
• The Incarnation as a turning point in earthly and spiritual history
• The Prologue as a path of meditation

Clear yet profound, this book is well suited for study groups, individual contemplation, and students of esoteric Christianity.
