Mere science degenerated more and more into a worship of the external world. Today we have reached a climax in this. Christianity was a strong support against this absorption in the sensual. Today, Christianity must be grasped in theosophical depth in order to be able to present itself to people in a new understanding. In the Middle Ages there was still a connection between science and Christianity. Today we need a supersensible deepening of knowledge, of wisdom itself, in order to understand Christianity in its full depth. So we are faced with a spiritual conception of Christianity. This is the next stage, the theosophical or spiritual-scientific Christianity. On the other hand, material science will increasingly lose its connection with the supersensible worlds.
