In der Geschichte nennt man «bewiesen» dasjenige, was durch Dokumente belegt ist. Wo man Akten findet, da nimmt man an, daß ein historisches Ereignis, von dem diese Akten sprechen, wirklich geschehen ist. Solche Beweiskraft könnte man wahrscheinlich den Evangelien nicht zuschreiben. Sie wissen aus meinem Buche «Das Christentum als mystische Tatsache», was die Evangelien sind. Sie sind alles andere als historische Urkunden, sie sind Inspirationsbücher, Initiationsbücher. Man hat sie früher für historische Urkunden gehalten; nun ist man darauf gekommen durch wirkliche Forschung, daß sie keine historischen Urkunden sind. Man hat auch herausgefunden, daß alle übrigen Dokumente, die in der Bibel stehen, keine historischen Urkunden sind. Und ein anerkannter Theologe, ein zu Unrecht anerkannter Theologe, Adolf Harnack, hat als Ergebnis der neueren Bibelforschung festgestellt, daß dasjenige, was man historisch über die Persönlichkeit des Christus Jesus wissen könne, auf einem Quartblatte zusammengeschrieben werden kann. Daran ist nur das eine richtig, wenn ich mich so paradox ausdrücken darf, daß das auch nicht wahr ist, daß das, was man auf dieses Quartblatt schreiben würde, historisch auch nicht haltbar ist! Wahr ist daran nur, daß es überhaupt keine wirklich haltbaren Urkunden über das Mysterium von Golgatha gibt. Wenn man als Geschichtsforscher heute frägt: Kann man das Mysterium von Golgatha historisch beweisen? -, so muß man vom Standpunkte der heutigen Geschichtsforschung sagen: Es läßt sich nicht äußerlich beweisen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":237,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/182/1918-10-16/p009"}],"english":["GA 182/1918-10-16/p022","GA 182/1918-10-16/p023"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"partial","length_check":{"de_words":237,"en_words":139,"ratio":0.59,"partial":true},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.13,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":10541,"original_word_count":9326,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"A.
