Description
Book Synopsis: Discover the fascinating and complex mystical vision of Meister Eckhart. Famous for his pithy writing and enduring impact on mysticism, the German theologian Meister Eckhart is one of the most influential―not to mention intriguing―figures of Christian spirituality. But despite his impact on generations of Christians and non-Christians alike, Meister Eckhart’s wisdom remains a well-kept secret.
Now, these nine lectures invite you to explore Eckhart’s historical and theological context as well as the central tenets of his thought. Born in 1260, Eckhart lived at a time when tensions between various monastic orders and the diocesan clergy were running high. Eckhart’s teachings came under fire and he was eventually accused of heresy. He died shortly thereafter in 1328. Not until the German Romantics began to rediscover Eckhart’s writings in 1857 did he attract widespread interest. Today, his mystical theology serves as a fruitful avenue for interreligious dialogue, particularly with Buddhism and Hinduism.
Controversial in his lifetime and beyond, Eckhart has nonetheless exerted enormous influence on contemporary theology, philosophy, and spirituality. In this series, you will specifically consider his impact on the beloved twentieth-century Trappist monk Thomas Merton. If you are curious about Eckhart but unsure where to begin, this series offers the perfect introduction and overview.
