Christian Non-Dualism: A Commentary on Theologia Germanica

By Abbot George Burke (Swami Nirmalananda Giri)

Discover the Forgotten Christian Classic That Reveals the Non-Dual Heart of Christ's Teaching

Theologia Germanica is one of the purest expressions of Christian non-dualism ever written. In this illuminating commentary, Swami Nirmalananda Giri - a monk deeply rooted in both Christian mysticism and the wisdom of India - unveils its timeless message: the false self must die for the divine Self to be known - a truth as central to Advaita Vedanta as it is to the teachings of Jesus.

This 14th-century mystical masterpiece by an anonymous mystic of the Teutonic Order has gone through nearly 200 editions but is almost unknown today. It teaches that true blessedness lies "not in much and many, but in One and oneness." It echoes the wisdom of the Upanishads, declaring that the soul must transcend its "I" and "mine" to be filled with God.
