More About The Essential Writings
Johannes Eckhart was a giant intellect of the late Middle Ages. Like many great souls who dare to question God and the generally accepted orthodoxy surrounding all things spiritual - he was punished. He was a Dominican Friar who was tried for heresy by the local inquisition (Nobody Expects the Spanish Inquisition!!! Sorry Monty Python... Helped me figure out the reasons I relied on religion at the time. This is my second read through the book and have a much greater appreciation for the Dominican German Mystic. His defense is brilliant and a must read for those who misunderstand his mystical revelations of God and man's relationship with Him.
