Rudolf Steiner (b. Rudolf Joseph Lorenz Steiner, 1861-1925) was
born in the small village of Kraljevec, Austro-Hungarian Empire
(now in Croatia), where he grew up. As a young man, he lived in
Weimar and Berlin, where he became a well-published scientific,
literary, and philosophical scholar, known especially for his work
with Goethe's scientific writings. At the beginning of the
twentieth century, he began to develop his early philosophical
principles into an approach to systematic research into
psychological and spiritual phenomena. Formally beginning his
spiritual teaching career under the auspices of the Theosophical
Society, Steiner came to use the term Anthroposophy (and spiritual
science) for his philosophy, spiritual research, and findings. The
influence of Steiner's multifaceted genius has led to innovative
and holistic approaches in medicine, various therapies, philosophy,
religious renewal, Waldorf education, education for special needs,
threefold economics, biodynamic agriculture, Goethean science,
architecture, and the arts of drama, speech, and eurythmy. In 1924,
Rudolf Steiner founded the General Anthroposophical Society, which
today has branches throughout the world. He died in Dornach,
Switzerland. Christopher Bamford (1943-2022) was born in Cardiff,
South Wales, and lived for a while in Hungary and then in Scotland.
He studied as an undergraduate at Trinity University in Dublin and
earned his master's degree at the Annenberg School for
Communication, University of Pennsylvania. For nearly thirty years,
he was Editor in Chief at SteinerBooks (Anthroposophic Press) and
its imprints. A Fellow of the Lindisfarne Association, he lectured,
taught, and wrote widely on Western spiritual and esoteric
traditions. His books include a selection of his numerous
introductions, Encountering Rudolf Steiner: Introductions to
Essential Works (2022); Healing Madonnas: Exploring the Sequence of
Madonna Images Created by Rudolf Steiner and Felix Peipers for Use
in Therapy and Meditation (2017); An Endless Trace: The Passionate
Pursuit of Wisdom in the West (2003); and The Voice of the Eagle:
The Heart of Celtic Christianity (1990). He also translated and
edited numerous books, including Homage to Pythagoras:
Rediscovering Sacred Science (2001); The Noble Traveller: The Life
and Writings of O. V. de L. Milosz (1984); and Celtic Christianity:
Ecology and Holiness (1982). Essays by Mr. Bamford are included in
The Best Spiritual Writing 2000 ("In the Presence of Death") and
The Best American Spiritual Writing 2005 ("The Gift of the Call").
Christopher passed over the threshold on May 13, 2022, at his Mt.
Washington, Massachusetts home.
