About this book
Meister Eckhart's Sermons: First Time Translated into English, by Meister Eckhart, opens a doorway into the radical, contemplative voice of a medieval mystic who challenged and deepened Christian thought. These translated sermons collect teachings on detachment, the birth of God in the soul, and the still point of divine presence—expressed in paradox, poetic metaphors, and plainspoken spiritual urgency.
Rooted in 13th- and 14th-century Dominican life, Eckhart’s sermons bridge scholastic theology and lived mysticism, shaping later German and European spiritual currents. Listeners will encounter striking images—such as the famous line imagining a piece of wood as aware of God—and a theology that elevates inner transformation over outward ritual. The language oscillates between austere logic and luminous phrasing, inviting sustained reflection rather than easy answers.
Perfect for readers of Religion, students of Christian mysticism, clergy, and spiritual seekers, this audiobook offers a rare chance to hear foundational mystical sermons newly available in English. Listen to wrestle with timeless questions of union, freedom, and the interior path to God—and to be moved by a voice that continues to inspire contemplative practice today.
