Theosophy And Jacob Boehme In The 17th Century

By J. D. Buck and Jirah Dewey Buck

Book Overview

The book ""Theosophy And Jacob Boehme In The 17th Century"" by J. D. Buck is an exploration of the relationship between theosophy and the German mystic Jacob Boehme during the 17th century. Theosophy is a philosophical and religious movement that seeks to understand the mysteries of the universe and the nature of divinity through direct experience and intuition. The author delves into the life and teachings of Boehme, who was a shoemaker and self-taught philosopher. His works were controversial and often criticized by the church, but he gained a following among theosophists and other spiritual seekers. Buck examines Boehme's ideas about the nature of God, the universe, and the human soul, and how they influenced the development of theosophy.The book also explores the broader historical context of the 17th century, including the religious and political conflicts that shaped the intellectual landscape of the time. Buck argues that theosophy and Boehme's ideas were a response to the upheavals of the era, offering a way for individuals to find meaning and purpose in a world that seemed chaotic and uncertain.Overall, ""Theosophy And Jacob Boehme In The 17th Century"" provides a fascinating glimpse into the intersection of mysticism, philosophy, and history during a pivotal period in European thought.THIS 26 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Modern World Movements, by J.
