Early Christianity had a powerful esoteric current. This is reflected in the New Testament writings of Mark, Paul and above all, John. Gnostic Christians tried to preserve this tradition, using the archaic mysteries as a way to knowledge (gnosis) of higher cosmic truths. But the Gnostic sects were finally suppressed by an orthodoxy which, Andrew Welburn concludes, had lost sight of the 'dynamic of the self'.The full scope of the traditions on which the Gnostics drew is clearer following the modern archaeological finds at Qumran and Nag Hammadi. As a result of these discoveries, the boundaries have started to fade between the ancient pagan mysteries, Jewish tradition, especially as found in the Essene sect, and early Christian belief.Welburn discovers a real kinship between this present age and the early Christians, and shows how, in a way not possible for the Reformation Church, we now have the chance to rediscover the spiritual world and meaning of Christian beginnings.

Where do we come from? The idea of human origins – the whole pattern of prehistory – has been through a revolution. The long-held Darwinian view purported to show how adopting an upright posture caused the gradual transition from animal to human. That theory has fallen apart spectacularly. Human orientation and equilibrium are now seen as a ‘biological new beginning’. Characteristics such as social complexity and artistic ability emerged with startling suddenness – in a Stone Age ‘cognitive explosion’. In place of Darwin, an entirely new history has emerged: a migration out of Africa and a Middle Eastern transformation. Crucial to understanding this is the discovery of our mystical-shamanic roots, as shown in the cave-paintings that dazzled Picasso. It has become clear that the cognitive leap was a spiritual revolution.Not least, our supposed human uniqueness has been challenged by the Neanderthals, whose heritage has been hidden for millennia. In no sense crude ‘ape-men’, they were a highly intelligent, culturally advanced people whose history long overlapped ours. Without them, human evolution would undoubtedly be very different.Over one hundred years ago, Rudolf Steiner spoke of two human types or species. This book illustrates how many of Steiner’s descriptions of human development coincide remarkably with emerging perspectives. His evolutionary thinking about humanity’s distinctive role can set scientific discoveries in a dramatic new light. His concepts concerning rhythmic phases and transitions – grounded in the formation and disintegration of continents – give authentic scientific expression to the myth of Atlantis. Welburn weaves Steiner’s perspectives with contemporary research in this ground-breaking work, exploring the turning-points of human consciousness. In doing so, he helps replace the search for man’s animal connections with the need to re-think the very meaning of being human.

A revolution is reshaping our understanding of human origins.Gone is the old narrative of slow, animal-like evolution. Instead, we now see humanity's emergence as marked by explosive transformations - like the Palaeolithic spiritual leap that gave birth to cave art, a profound expression of shamanistic visionary consciousness. Even the long-misunderstood Neanderthals are now recognized as integral to our story.At the heart of this new prehistory lies the world of the cave artists, whose vision shaped the essential scope of human existence - along with its inherent dangers and excesses. As explored in Andrew Welburn's acclaimed Neanderthals and Atlantis, Rudolf Steiner and the New Prehistory (nominated for the 2025 ISSR International Book Prize), Steiner's linking of the Atlantis legend and the betrayal of its Mysteries to this era gains startling new relevance.But the story does not end there. Steiner revealed how the great cultures of antiquity - India, Persia, Egypt and Mesopotamia - were not merely outdated belief systems but vital stages in humanity's evolution of consciousness. These traditions planted within us the seeds of moral sacrifice, commitment to a better world, and the courage to confront life and death. Today, cutting-edge prehistorians are abandoning the myth of culture as a patchwork of conquests, embracing instead a 'Palaeolithic Continuity Model' that resonates deeply with Steiner's vision.In this illuminating second volume, Welburn bridges the gap between the Ice Age's transformative crisis and a bold new interpretation of modernity. Drawing on Steiner's insights - including the profound Moses Mystery - he reveals how the Bible and Christianity are illuminated by the hidden currents of human consciousness. A groundbreaking work that redefines our past to better understand our future.
