Synopsis:
This introduction to the writing and preaching of one of the greatest medieval European mystics contains selections from his sermons, treatises, and sayings, as well as Table Talk, the records of his informal advice to his spiritual children. Meister Eckhart (1260-1327) was a German Dominican priest whose preaching was immensely popular in his own time and whose writings form a huge part of the foundation of the Western mystical tradition. Though he was condemned and excommunicated by the Catholic Church at the end of his life, his influence on seekers from a range of spiritual traditions has remained strong to this day.
