Sermons of Meister Eckhart (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. Medieval Christian Sermons on Detachment, Divine Birth, and Contemplative UnionBy Meister Eckhart
Length2h 3m
About this audiobook
Sermons of Meister Eckhart gathers the Dominican theologian's most penetrating vernacular and Latin reflections on detachment, divine birth in the soul, poverty of spirit, and the ground of God beyond images. At once exegetical, speculative, and startlingly poetic, these sermons transform biblical texts into occasions for metaphysical inquiry. Situated within medieval scholasticism yet reaching toward apophatic mysticism, they unite rigorous dialectic with paradoxical language that seeks to unsettle ordinary piety and awaken inward knowledge. Meister Eckhart (c. 1260–1328), trained in the Dominican intellectual tradition and active as preacher, teacher, and administrator, wrote from within the world of universities, convents, and pastoral reform. His experience instructing religious women and lay audiences helped shape a theology that translated complex metaphysics into urgent spiritual counsel. The controversies surrounding some of his propositions after his death testify less to eccentricity than to the daring precision with which he pressed Christian doctrine toward its experiential limits. This volume is indispensable for readers of theology, philosophy, medieval literature, and contemplative spirituality. Those seeking devotional comfort will find it, but only through challenge: Eckhart demands intellectual courage, inward silence, and a willingness to relinquish familiar certainties in order to encounter the divine more profoundly.
