In a modern translation by Raymond B. Blakney, here are the essential writings of Meister Eckhart, the celebrated 14th Century German-born Dominican philosopher, mystic, and spiritual master, including his famous, brilliantly reasoned defense against charges of heresy during a local Franciscan-led Inquisition. Perhaps the most daring and profound Christian philosophy in the history of Western mysticism, the writings and teachings of Meister Eckhart at once challenge and inspire all who wish to deepen their experience of God.
"A mountain peak, or such a religious genius as Eckhart, can be approached from many valleys and appreciated by differing seekers for truths. There remains only the obligation to express wholehearted appreciation of this presentation to American readers of Meister Eckhart.""-- Christian Century""Deserves careful consideration by all who want to understand the views to which speculative mysticism leads.""--Crozer Quarterly"
