Of Adam's Sleep

By Jacob Boehme

Book Overview

Of Adam's Sleep is a spiritual and philosophical book written by Jacob Boehme, a German mystic and theologian. The book explores the Christian creation story and the fall of man, as well as the nature of God, the purpose of humanity, and the role of evil in the world. Boehme argues that the story of Adam and Eve's disobedience in the Garden of Eden is a metaphor for humanity's separation from God and the need for spiritual awakening and redemption. He also discusses the concept of the ""Divine Spark"" within each person, which can be awakened through spiritual practices and lead to a deeper understanding of God and the universe. The book is written in a poetic and allegorical style, and is considered a classic of Christian mysticism.THIS 18 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Incarnation of Jesus Christ, by Jacob Boehme.
