An ancient tradition tells that there were two children named Jesus, a year apart in age and both born to parents named Ma...

After a half century of subsequent work in anthroposophy, he saw the need for an introductory volume that clearly lays out Steiner's views without the complications that arise in the context of late nineteenth-century philosophy. This book is the result, intended both for students of anthropo...
