Meister Eckhart

An introduction to the writing and preaching of the greatest medieval European mystic.

Meister Eckhart (1260 -1328) was a priest, a mystic, and nearly a heretic (he died before the Church court’s verdict). In the 20th century, the Roman Catholic Church rehabilitated him and the late Pope John Paul II spoke of his work with fondness.

The 13th-century mystic Meister Eckhart was the most brilliant Christian scholar of his day, but he was also legendary for the way that he opened listeners to the direct experience of God during his public talks. Today, his written wisdom remains alive as ever, ready to illuminate us.

Meister Eckhart on Divine Knowledge is not only the most profound study of the core theological and philosophical themes of Christianitys greatest mystic ever written. It is also the greatest exegesis of Christian non-dualism ever published.

The teachings of the German–born Meister Eckhart (1260–1328), Dominican philosopher and spiritual master, are among the most daring and profound in the history of Western mysticism.
