PRELOVED Rudolf Steiner's Vision of Love by Bernard Nesfield-Cookson

This is a secondhand book, it has been read! There are very slight creases on the spine but the condition is very good

A penetrating survey of anthroposophical thought in the light of Steiner's conception of the Christ Impulse. The author shows how the concept of love is central to Steiner's thinking and how anthroposophy is not merely a body of new teaching but an "instrument" -- involving the whole human being -- for comprehending life and its mysteries.

Rudolf Steiner, the founder of Anthroposophy, is a pivotal figure in contemporary esoteric thought. Through his books and lectures he provided an impetus for the spiritual renewal of many human activities, including education (Steiner Waldorf schools), agriculture, medicine, economics, the arts and religion. Steiner showed how mankind has been evolving and explained the role of the great spiritual world leaders in the process. Above all he showed how the impulse to evolution given by Christ's death and resurrection - what he referred to as the Mystery of Golgotha - is of unique importance in the human being's struggle to reach the summit of evolution: union with the higher self.

Bernard Nesfield-Cookson here shows how Rudolf Steiner's vision of love, the transformative power brought by Christ, unites the forces of the head and heart towards a spiritual awakening among mankind. Gathering together references to the 'logic of the heart' from throughout Steiner's work, the author encapsulates the great teacher's revelations on the meaning of love, and indicates the supreme importance of the greatest of all deeds of love: the Mystery of Golgotha.
