Astrological Considerations on the Gospel: A Solar-Based Soteriology

di Andrew Casella
cover: โ€œThe creation of the Sun, the Moon and the starsโ€, ca. 1250-1260


The cycle of articles dedicated to sacred astronomy by Andrea Casella continues. In this appointment and in the one that will follow, the author focuses on the soteriology of the Christian Gospels, identifying the referencesย 
โ€”ย most of the time now forgotten and therefore misunderstoodย โ€”ย to the ancient astroteological tradition. In this first part we will analyze in a special way the figure of John the Baptist and his relationship with Jesus (especially as regards "baptism") and that of Judas the Iscariot, connected with the constellation of Scorpio.
