Star Wisdom, Moon Religion, Sun Religion
GA 353

From the summer of 1922 until the early autumn of 1924, Dr. Steiner spoke regularly—often several times a week—to the workmen employed at this first Goetheanum. He encouraged them to bring questions to him on any subject they liked and the Lectures to Workmen, as they are called, consist largely of the answers he gave. On these occasions Dr. Steiner spoke very informally to his listeners, with a simple directness which it is almost impossible to recapture in another language. Nevertheless in view of the wealth of information contained in these lectures on so many different, fascinating subjects, translations of a certain number of them are being attempted, in order that they may be available for English readers exactly in the form in which they were delivered.

This series of lectures chosen for publication deal with the religious life and ideas of ancient peoples and the significance of the new impulse given by Christianity.
