by Glen Williamson (Author)
Taken as a biographical whole, the "final act" of the remarkable life story of Rudolf Steiner, the original and preeminent spiritual warrior of the twentieth century, begins with the destruction by fire of the original Goetheanum building on New Year's Eve 1922 and proceeds through the almost unfathomable exertions of creativity that followed before his death in 1925.
Although this "final act" of a single life is in a way the main subject of Glen Williamson's Fire in the Temple, this story, dramatized here for the first time, is more than a portrait of a single remarkable man, his closest circle of friends and co-workers, and the spiritual movement he initiated. Touching on the inner reality of repeated earth lives, and intimating something of the grave responsibilities of those who would follow Steiner's path, here is a drama of life and spirit, of past and present and future, meticulously researched, that, following Dr. Steiner himself, delivers the possibility of individual awakening. "powerful . . . brilliant . . . compelling . . . incandescent . . . a documentary, a comedy of manners, a tragedy, and a mystery drama woven into one."- Eugene Schwartz "beautifully sensitive...artistic genius, ...spiritually intimate."
- Andrew Wolpert "--meticulously researched--artistically crafted--stunningly performed . . . a powerful feeling for the weaving of destiny."
- Gloria Kemp, Waldorf-education consultant "Truly amazing. I sat mesmerized. . . [it] was so full and the images captivating. I am still feeling the effects from it. . . beautiful experience. It will be with me for some time!"
- Diane Prusha, Actress, Shakespeare & Company, Lenox, MA "It was deeply moving...wonderfully written...and the same questions live today... With tears I'm asking: Will we awake?"
