The Wisdom of Meister Eckhart Birth of God in the Soul, Detachment, and the Ground of Being

By Sapientia Mundi Press

Discover the God beyond God - and the silent ground where the soul and the Divine are one.

In the fourteenth century, a Dominican friar named Meister Eckhart preached a vision so daring that it risked censure, yet so luminous that it still inspires seekers across the world. He spoke of the birth of God in the soul, of a divine spark uncreated and uncreatable, of living "without a why," and of the boundless freedom of detachment. His words invite us beyond images and concepts into the stillness where God gives Himself completely, here and now.

This book is the most complete, immersive exploration of Eckhart's life and teaching you will find - blending historical portrait, theological reflection, vivid reimaginings of his world, and meditative guidance. You will walk the streets of medieval Cologne and the halls of Paris with Eckhart, hear his sermons in the marketplaces and convents of the Rhineland, and see how his thought flowered into a legacy that bridges Christian mysticism, philosophy, and interfaith dialogue.

Through twenty chapters, you'll explore:

The Godhead beyond God - and the bold prayer "I pray God to rid me of God."

Detachment (Abgeschiedenheit) as the key to divine union.

The spark of the soul and its unbreakable connection to God.

How to act without self-interest, living entirely without a why.

The eternal Now, where time falls away in the presence of God.

A vision of action and contemplation as one seamless life.

Written in a rich, contemplative narrative style, The Wisdom of Meister Eckhart Birth of God in the Soul, Detachment, and the Ground of Being does not merely explain his teaching - it invites you to experience it.

Ideal for readers who:

Are drawn to the depth of Christian mysticism.

Seek a path of inner freedom and presence in the modern world.

Appreciate spiritual classics but want them brought vividly to life.

Are curious about the intersections between Christianity and other wisdom traditions.

Let Meister Eckhart be your guide to the God beyond images and the life beyond striving - the life where every moment is the birth that never ends.
