The Godhead...accommodates...ALL... (absolute imageless transcendence..) Meister Eckhart (1260-1327) is quite arguably the greatest Christian mystic of all time. Of course, the word “mysticism” is vague and usually connotes visionary experiences, of which there is little trace in Eckhart. Still, with the possible exception of Dionysius the Areopagite, Eckhart is certainly the greatest exponent of the via negativa, or path of negation. The path of negation is that of absolute imageless transcendence, and this is at the heart of Eckhart’s mysticism. But Eckhart expresses this path of negation in the most colorful and daring ways of anyone in the history of Christianity. In this collection of his work, we offer selections from his sermons that reveal just how extraordinary he was, and that are meant to offer a way into the tradition that he more than anyone else exemplifies.
