An Outline of Religious Ideas in post-Atlantean Times

In Christianity, all the different divine figures flow together in the one living figure of Christ Jesus. For this, it was necessary for humanity to undergo a great and powerful deepening, a deepening that enabled humanity not only to think of the living form in space, as expressed in Greek sculpture, but to rise to the idea of seeing inwardness outwardly, to the belief that the eternal in a historical form has really lived on earth in the spatial-temporal. That is the essence of Christianity. This idea represented the greatest advance that humanity could make on earth.
