Basic Reading ...
With all of this material staring you in the face, the question arises,
“Just where do I start? ... How do I begin to make sense of all
this information?” You are not alone in thinking this. Everyone
who has been piqued by the ideas presented by Rudolf Steiner has had
these same thoughts!
By starting with the Five Basic Books, detailed below, you will have
access to those ideas Dr. Steiner thought to be at the foundation of
all his later, more advanced anthroposophical writings and lecture
courses. This is where to start.

Rudolf Steiner intended these carefully written volumes to serve as a
foundation to all of the later, more advanced anthroposophical writings
and lecture courses.

Adolph Arenson's Top 50 Lecture Cycles
-
In 1930 Adolph Arenson published his monumental three-volume concordance
titled Ein Führer Durch die Vortragszyklen Rudolf Steiners
(1–50) — “A Guide to the Lecture Cycles of Rudolf
Steiner (1–50)” (Berlin, Selbstverlag, Not Translated).
This work — now out of print and exceedingly rare — is of
the greatest aid to the student who can read German. Works presented
here are those lecture cycles in the Arenson 1–50 which have
been translated into English.

Adolph Arenson's Top 50 (+ 2), Book of the Week |
Thirtieth Week of the Year:
“Background to the Gospel of Mark”
These lectures constitute an important chapter in Steiner's commentary on Christianity. They stress the relationship of the Gospel of Mark to the "language of the macrocosm" and cover such topics as the two main streams of post-Atlantean civilization, the tasks of our epoch, the laws of rhythm in the domain of soul and spirit, and much more.
Ten lectures from the series entitled: Excursus in the Area of the Gospel of St. Mark. Published in German as: Exkurse in das Gebiet des Markus-Evangelium. These lectures, plus three more, were published later as: Background to the Gospel of St. Mark. We present them with the kind permission of the Rudolf Steiner Nachlassverwaltung, Dornach, Switzerland. The translator is unknown. From Bn 124, Ga 124, CW 124.
