Time of Decision with Rudolf Steiner (eBook)

Time of Decision with Rudolf Steiner: Experience and Encounter

This fascinating recollection of the early days of the Anthroposophical Society offers a unique perspective on Rudolf Steiner’s work and his relationship to his students.

Of particular interest to our readers will be the chapters on the Christmas Conference of 1923 for the foundation of the Anthroposophical Society. Hiebel attended the meeting, and his lively descriptions and warm style let those solemn events rise up again in our souls. He recreates the solemn, sacred mood of the laying of the Foundation Stone, and provides insights into the structure and meaning of the Foundation Stone verses.
