St. John's: An Introductory Reader (Pocket Library of Spiritual Wisdom)

In this introductory reader, Matthew Barton collects excerpts from Steiner s talks and writings on the festival of St. John s Day, celebrating the nativity of St. John the Baptist. It is one of the oldest festivals of the Christian church. The birth of John the Baptist is a part of the Christmas cycle, since its date falls exactly six months before (or after) Christmas, thus being celebrated on June 24 as a fixed festival (unlike the movable festivals related to Easter).

St. John's: An Introductory Reader also features Barton's introduction, afterword, commentary, and notes.

Chapters:

1. Midsummer Dream, the Earth Breathes Out
2. Finding the Greater Self
3. He Must Increase, I Must Decrease
4. Creating Vision
