German Mystical Writings: Hildegard of Bingen, Meister Eckhart, Jacob Boehme & Others Reviews
-
Meister Eckhart will rock your world. Imagine Zen Buddhism in 14th-century Germany... I've heard that Buddhist monks have actually stood up and shouted with joy when they hear Eckhart demolishing "Zweiheit" (duality) and talking about God as a horse running across a field, reveling in Being....
Or how about Jacob Boehme, theologian and shoemaker... Hildegard von Bingen, composer, scientist, and visionary...
First-rate introduction, too. Appreciates the radicalness of the mystics and how those accused of heresy ended up saving the Christian tradition from itself. -
The German Library: Hildegard of Bingen, Meister Eckhart, Jacob Boehme, and others.
-
The commentary is a little dry, but an excellent selection of poetry by Hildegard von Bingen, Mechthild of Magdeburg, the Granum Sinapis, Angelus Silesius, as well as writings by Eckhart, Boehme, and others.
