Meister Eckhart

Composed during a critical time in the evolution of European intellectual life, the works of Meister Eckhart (c. 1260-1327) are some of the most powerful medieval attempts to achieve a synthesis between ancient Greek thought and the Christian faith. Writing with great rhetorical brilliance, Eckhart combines the neoplatonic concept of oneness - the idea that the ultimate principle of the universe is single and undivided - with his Christian belief in the Trinity, and considers the struggle to describe a perfect God through the imperfect medium of language. Fusing philosophy and religion with vivid originality and metaphysical passion, these works have intrigued and inspired philosophers and theologians from Hegel to Heidegger and beyond.

Dell'uomo nobile

Meister Eckhart, thirteenth century Dominican theologian and the greatest of German mystics, speaks to us with a new voice in this faithful and authoritative translation by M.O'C. Walshe. Eckhart was regarded as the most learned scholar of his time, people flocked to hear him preach and his influence on contemporary theology was considerable. However, his declaration as a heretic has meant that his spiritual message has been lost to us for centuries. Today, his teachings are being rediscovered by a new generation of spiritual seekers following his 'wayless way' which bridges East and West.

The Father of German Mysticism Meister Eckhart (1260-1328) was a German theologian, philosopher, professor, and mystic. In his distinguished career, he became a professor of theology at the University of Paris and took a leading pastoral and organizational role in the Dominican Order. Later in his life he was brought before the local Franciscan-led Inquisition and was tried as a heretic. In response Eckhart produced "The Defense" in which he famously defended his writings and refuted their heretical intent. This book collects his most important writings, including his many sermons, as well as his historic response to accusations of heresy.

"Bargains in books are rare today, but one would be hard put to find in American publishing anything superior to these in content and format." The Parish Visitor Meister Eckhart: Teacher and Preacher edited by Bernard McGinn with the collaboration of Frank Tobin and Elvira Borgstadt preface by Kenneth Northcott "When this temple is thus free of all obstacles, namely, possessiveness and ignorance, then it sparkles so beautifully and shines so purely and bright above everything that God created and through everything that God created that no one can be compared to it in brightness but the uncreated God alone...If the soul of a man still living in time were standing on the same level as the highest angel, this person could reach immeasurable higher in his free capability above the angel in ever 'now', new beyond number, that is, and beyond manner and above the manner of the angels and any created intellect." Meister Eckhart (c.1260-1327) Here are the texts that illustrate the diversity of one of the most enigmatic and influential mystics of the Western Christian tradition. Eckhart the teacher is represented by the Commentary on Exodus and by selections from six other commentaries, including the Commentary on Wisdom 7:14, the Commentary on Ecclesiasticus 24:29, and the Commentary on John 14:8. Eckhart's ministry as a preacher was an equally important part of the man, and thus his sermons, from both the Latin and the Middle High German manuscripts, are included. What emerges is a comprehensive picture of the works of this great speculative theologian. Together with Meister Eckhart: The Essential Sermons, Commentaries and Treatises, this work form the most extensive corpus of Eckhart's writings in English.

Meister Eckhart, Sermons & Treatises: With the newly discovered fragment of an unknown sermon

In "Sermons of Meister Eckhart," the influential 14th-century German theologian and mystic presents a profound exploration of the nature of God, the soul, and the interplay between the two. This collection, characterized by its strikingly original language, rich metaphors, and intricate theological dialogue, invites readers into the depths of Christian mysticism. Eckhart's sermons are marked by a radical emphasis on the concept of the 'birth of the Word' within the individual, challenging conventional ecclesiastical interpretations and calling for an intimate and personalized connection with the divine. Written against the backdrop of a slowly crumbling feudal society, Eckhart's work reflects the tensions and transformations of his time, positioned philosophically between scholasticism and emerging Renaissance humanism. Meister Eckhart (c. 1260-1328) was a Dominican friar whose teachings have captivated and perplexed audiences for centuries. His innovative thought challenges the orthodoxy of his day, leading to later controversies and posthumous condemnation by the Church. Eckhart's own life was marked by a quest for deeper spiritual understanding, shaped by his experiences in both academic and pastoral settings, which undoubtedly informed the depth and breadth of insight found in these sermons.
