The Book Of Benedictus

By Meister Eckhart

Book Overview

The Book of Benedictus is a spiritual text written by the German mystic Meister Eckhart. It is a collection of sermons and teachings that explore the nature of God, the soul, and the relationship between the two. The book is named after the Benedictus, the song of praise sung by Zechariah in the Gospel of Luke, which serves as a recurring theme throughout the text. Eckhart's teachings emphasize the importance of detachment from material possessions and the ego in order to achieve union with God. He also stresses the idea that God is present in all things and that the soul can experience divine union through contemplation and prayer. The book is divided into two parts: the first part focuses on the Benedictus as a symbol of divine presence, while the second part explores the process of spiritual transformation and the attainment of union with God. Throughout the text, Eckhart uses vivid imagery and poetic language to convey his ideas, making it a rich and engaging read for those interested in spirituality and mysticism. Overall, The Book of Benedictus is a profound and insightful work that offers a unique perspective on the nature of God and the human soul. It is a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of spirituality and the search for meaning in life.THIS 50 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Works of Meister Eckhart, by Meister Eckhart.
