This is what Rudolf Steiner had to say in his final address to members of the Anthroposophical Society. This was his only comment on the connection between John the Baptist and John the Evangelist. As Sergei Prokofieff points out, Steiner had intended to develop and fully clarify that brief comment, but his fatal illness prevented him from doing so.
In this short but enlightening book, Prokofieff addresses the mystery of the "two Johns," resolving many unanswered questions. In particular, he sheds light on issues of "incarnation and incorporation," the initiations of John the Baptist and John the Evangelist, the significance of their mutual work at the "Turning Point of Time," and the relevance of those events for our present time.
