"What Christ Jesus taught is not what is most important, but rather what he has given humanity. His resurrection is the birth of a new faculty within human nature." -- Rudolf Steiner There are many books on sacramental theology --some of which focus on a specific denomination, while others aspire to rigorous academic objectivity. Some also serve as an introduction to a particular branch of Christianity, and Michael Debus's book serves that purpose well. Nevertheless, the author's integration of theological developments through the centuries with a discussion of the evolution of consciousness makes this book unique. He addresses the fact that anyone looking for a new or renewed relationship t...
Rudolf Steiner’s inspiring words provide rich and nourishing thoughts and ideas for self-development and spiritual enlightenment. Daily Contemplations offers a separate passage from Steiner’s lectures – a special gift upon which to reflect – to accompany each day of the year. Carefully selected by Jean-Claude Lin, the quotations are sourced from lectures and addresses that Steiner gave on the specific day in question. Thus, the ordering is not arbitrary but arises from the historical fact of the lectures themselves. This unique volume gives us a new way of working with Steiner’s research on a daily basis. The short passages encourage us to ponder and delve further in order to make our own creative discoveries. ‘Wisdom is the premise, the foundation of love; love is the fruit of wisdom reborn in the I.’ These words from Rudolf Steiner are the founding motifs of his immense lecturing activity – to which this book gives manifold entry points. As Lin notes in his introduction, ‘wisdom and love are the alpha and omega of the human being who strives for truth and freedom’.
"Is there also such a thing as 'the essence of color'? For me, the essence is the spiritual aspect that lives in color. Making this spiritual aspect accessible is the purpose of this book." -- Kees Veenman We are all familiar with the world of color, but can we learn to experience color more intensely? Can we learn to penetrate colors in a more profound way? This book takes the reader into the activity of the colors of the spectrum by investigating them meditatively. The author explains aspects of color phenomenology and prepares the reader for color meditations, including some that he has incorporated into his own personal practices. Kees Veenman, a phenomenologist who specializes in colors...

In dieser hochaktuellen und grundlegenden Studie rollt Günter Herrmann wesentliche Fragen auf: Wie kann unser Rechtsleben gerechter und menschlicher werden? Was bedeutet für Richter, Beamte und Spitzenpolitiker der Amtseid, »Gerechtigkeit zu üben«? Woher kommt Gerechtigkeit? Aufgrund der geisteswissenschaftlichen Erkenntnis, dass Gerechtigkeit als Urphänomen und Ideal tatsächlich existiert, weist Herrmann den Weg, wie Gerechtigkeit für unser Rechtsleben fruchtbar werden kann: Jeder soll nach Gerechtigkeit streben, sie in sein Bewusstsein aufnehmen und in seine Entscheidungen sowie in den Diskurs zur Bildung gemeinschaftlicher Gerechtigkeitsvorstellungen einbringen. Dies bedarf aktiven Wollens und Handelns aller Beteiligten - am wirksamsten unter Achtung der klassischen Tugenden. Angesichts der Defizite in unserem Rechtsleben tut Gerechtigkeit not! Deshalb soll dieser Essay des erfahrenen Intendanten und Hochschullehrers auch ein Weckruf für mehr Nächstenliebe und Gerechtigkeit sein.
Liebe Leserin, lieber Leser! «Nun neigt sich dieses so besondere Jahr der Heraus- und Ãœberforderungen, der notwendigen Änderungen des Vertrauten und der unvertrauten Annahme der Ausnahme seinem Ende zu.

Die eigene Entwicklung in die Hand nehmen Einst galten in Europa die »sieben freien Künste« als Voraussetzung einer höheren geistigen Bildung. Ohne die Unterweisungen der mittelalterlichen Klosterschulen und neuzeitlichen Universitäten gab es keinen Zugang zur höchsten Stufe der Erkenntnis, zur Theologie. Heute kann aber jede und jeder die höhere innere und geistige Bildung selbst in die Hand nehmen. Jean-Claude Lin zeigt, wie jeder Mensch neue freie Künste der inneren Entwicklung praktizieren kann.
