Description
The Three Principles of the Divine Essence is Jacob Boehme's second book and an introduction to his writings. It outlines three fundamental principles - the fire world, the light world, and the outer world - which emanate from the Father, Son, and Spirit.
Boehme wrote this work not from external instruction or knowledge, but from a personal spiritual experience. He describes how he received a divine book that contained the noble similitude of God, which he studied as a child in the house of its mother. This book, with only three leaves, contains all the teachings of Moses and the prophets, Christ and his apostles, and holds the foundation of the world and all mysteries.
This edition by Kraus House includes the entire text in a single volume, presented in clear 12-point print. It is usually published in two volumes, but this single-volume edition provides an accessible introduction to Boehme's key ideas.
