The Bhagavad Gita and the West
Die Bhagavad Gita und die Paulusbriefe (GA 142)

Authorship note
A lecture cycle: text established from stenographic transcripts or listeners' notes, for the most part not revised by Steiner; he himself warned that such texts lacked the reliability of his written books. Steiner died in 1925: the content is in the public domain; modern editions and translations carry their own rights.
