The Essence of the Active Word

Focused on the spiritual and practical aspects of Christian-religious work, this collection features four lectures delivered by Rudolf Steiner to priests in Stuttgart in 1923. It includes a variety of supplementary materials, such as original manuscripts, a speech from a notable cremation, and a special note from GA# 342. The work represents Part IV of Steiner's broader contributions and is presented in a translated and edited format by Hanna von Maltitz and James D. Stewart, offering insights into Steiner's teachings and their implications for religious practice.
