I have been picking my way through Steiners stuff.  It is a bit
heady and trying to hard to be intellecualist but packed with
intriguing concepts and ideas.  Nonetheless, Jerry could you
please expand on why you think that his version of Theosophy is
Christianized? and what it was that caused it to be so.  He is
not an orthodox, fundamentalist by any stretch.  I get a hunch he
was applying Theosophy to Christianity and not Christianity to
Theosophy.  Anyway what about Steiner please anyone with
comments? I would be very appreciative.
