Meister Eckart : Eine theologische Studie

This compact study invites listeners into the rich world of medieval German mysticism, centering on the teaching of Meister Eckhart. The author, a 19th‑century professor of theology, traces Eckhart’s sermons and their resonances with the works of Johannes Tauler, Henry Suso and later German theological thought. By framing mysticism as both a spiritual practice and a form of speculative theology, the work asks how faith and reason once sought a common ground in the quiet cells of medieval monasteries.

The opening sections outline the historical tension between “the unreasonable” and “the over‑rational,” setting the stage for a careful examination of Eckhart’s mystery, revelation, and the pursuit of the highest good. Readers are guided through the logical structure of mystical experience without losing sight of its deeply felt, heart‑centered origins. Ideal for anyone curious about the philosophical roots of Christian spirituality, the study offers clear, accessible insights that remain relevant to today’s seekers.
