Christian mysticism translation

Meister Eckhart: Sermons and Collations, Volume II

C. de B. Evans1931
AdvancedPrimary Sourcepartial

The second volume of C. de B. Evans's English translation of Meister Eckhart, presenting further sermons, the Talks of Instruction, the Book of Divine Comfort, and other treatises. Where the first volume establishes Eckhart's central metaphysical doctrines, this volume reveals the more practical and pastoral dimensions of his mysticism — guidance on spiritual detachment, equanimity, and the inner life. Together the two volumes constitute the most comprehensive English access to Eckhart's German works and remain essential reading for any serious student of Christian mysticism.
