Description
Meister Eckhart's Path to the God Within by Joel F. Harrington is a thought-provoking exploration of the 14th-century German spiritual leader's revolutionary teachings. Eckhart, a medieval Christian mystic, preached a personal and internal path to God at a time when the Church was hierarchical and ritualistic. His approach, which combined pagan and Christian writings with Muslim and Jewish philosophers, offers a profoundly subjective yet universally accessible method of direct access to ultimate reality. This "dangerous mystic's" teachings challenge the nature of religion, yet Eckhart himself never directly challenged the Church. A man of learning and experience, Eckhart was both a theologian and an administrator who taught at the University of Paris before becoming a lay preacher. His personal path from conventional friar to professor and back again culminated in a spiritual philosophy that continues to inspire seekers seven centuries after his death.
