What is to be said about this is not taught only today. What I have to say has been taught in the occult schools of all times since the founding of Christianity and most vividly in the first centuries of Christianity. The teachers have spoken not literally, but faithfully in the sense in which we want to look at the testimony of the Gospel of John from the occult point of view. The learned theologian Bunsen has already said that Christianity stands and falls with the Gospel of John. And we have seen that literal scholarship has first excluded the Gospel of John and does not want to accept it.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XLV.
