Reviews

[Frank]

This book is of Meister Eckhart's Creation Spirituality consisting of 37 sermons and then commentaries by the author. This is a hard book to rate. Eckhart was a 14th century Dominican priest and said to be a mystic. I believe his writings are still banned by the Catholic Church and certainly some of the information provided in these sermons are very questionable. The book is interesting but very hard to grasp the deep meanings. Although there may be some very helpful thoughts in his works I find my idea of mysticism and his were wide apart and I will not read anymore by him nor would I recomend him to others.

Read it 1/2 page at a time.

Excellent translations of the original German for any Eckhart fan.
