The Incarnation of Christ: A Spiritual Embryology

How can human embryology help us to understand the incarnation of Christ? Retired Christian Community priest and academic Pearl Goodwin explores this fascinating subject, helping readers deepen their understanding of this vital aspect of Christ's life.

In a series of lectures that he gave on the incarnation of Christ, Rudolf Steiner compared the period of Christ's life between his baptism and crucifixion to that of prenatal human development. But what did he mean by this, and how can an understanding of human embryology help us to understand the incarnation of Christ?

Pearl Goodwin is uniquely qualified as a student of both embryology and the work of Rudolf Steiner to expand on this intriguing insight. In this fascinating book, Goodwin outlines the stages of a spiritual embryology and goes beyond the crucifixion to argue that the creation of a physical human body is mirrored in the creation of Christ's resurrection body.

This original approach reveals a process that embraces both the spiritual and earthly aspects of our existence. It will be of interest to members of The Christian Community and those wanting to deepen their understanding of this important aspect of Christ's life.
