Books in French and Norwegian

As we get them, we will present some of Steiner's Books and Lectures in French and Norwegian. We are trying to make our offerings available in as many languages as possible. A start is at: Knowledge of the Higher Worlds and Its Attainment.

Books, Lectures, and Articles we are currently working on include:

• Old and New Methods of Initiation, 14 lectures from GA #210.
• Art in the Light of Mystery Wisdom, lectures from GA #'s: 275, 271, 283, and 220.
• Evolution in the Aspect of Realities, 6 lectures from GA #132.
• The Gospel of St. John (Creative Word, GA #100. From the Volume: Human Development and Cognition of Christ)
• Many of Steiner's books — GA#'s 1–33 — in English and the original German, filling out our Books Section.
• Many articles and lectures from the Anthroposophical News Sheets dated from the mid to late 1920's through the 1940's.
• Many books, articles, and essays from other authors: Descartes, Goethe, Hegel, Heindel, etc. — for the “Related Works” Section.
• Many new individual lectures:
  
  • Imaginative Cognition & Inspired Cognition (23rd December, 1921)
  • The World of Dreams as a Bridge between the Physical World and the World of Moral Ideas. (22nd September, 1923)
  • Knowledge of the Spiritual Being of Man (31st October, 1922)

As always, we appreciate your comments and ideas. And if you have any material on disk, won't you consider donating it to the Archive? Many hands will make the job easier, and you will be taking part in a very worthwhile effort. Send a message to us with your suggestions.

Science Courses

Rudolf Steiner gave three lecture-courses on Natural Science: the so-called Light, Warmth, and Astronomy courses. The first and second courses — The Light Course and The Warmth Course — are here now; the The Astronomy Course will soon follow.

A wealth of New material

The Rudolf Steiner Archive has acquired over 350 Anthroposophical Newsletters dated in the 1920's, 1930's, and 1940's. There is a lot of really good information here, and we will be including them in our offerings as soon as we get them transcribed. Some are already in the Lectures section, so go ahead and seek them out.
