Until his death in 1925, Steiner created the body of knowledge and practice known as anthroposophy, which challenged and ex-tended the underlying methods of modern knowledge, and inspired many practical cultural initiatives, including Waldorf education, biodynamic agriculture, the move-ment for a threefold social order, and anthroposophical medicine. Henry Barnes recounts the dynamic life of Rudolf Steiner, an active leader whose entire being was given in service to humanity and to the spirit, and places him in the crosscurrents of history.

A Powerful, Accessible Introduction to Steiner's Life & Work,
By
This review is from: A Life for the Spirit : Rudolf Steiner in the Crosscurrents of Our Time (Vista Series, V. 1) (Paperback)
Although I read this book a couple of years ago, it still stands out in my mind as exceptional and outstanding. It is comprehensive in its coverage of Steiner's ideas and work, and for a person approaching the ideas of anthroposophy for the first time, it is the perfect introduction to the man behind it all. I found the book to be much clearer on Steiner than Steiner's own writings. I was nineteen when I read the book so I will recommend that especially young people interested in Steiner get this book. When I finished reading it I was in awe of how much Rudolf Steiner accomplished in his life and the sheer number of fields of knowledge (philosophy, science, medicine, education, art, agriculture, religion) he contributed to. The book is very well written and inspired me to look more deeply into Steiner's philosophy and his work.
