Genius Of The Transcendent

Mystical Writings Of Jakob Boehme

TRANSLATED BY MICHAEL BIRKEL AND JEFF BACH

Brief Description:
Quaker scholar Michael Birkel turns his attention to Jakob Boehme (1575-1624) a mystic, like Meister Eckhart, who pushed language to its limits to describe an experience that happens above and beyond rational thought. George Fox read him and his influence is to be seen in many of the early Quakers, and in modern Frthe German Romantics, Pietism, various American utopian experiments, and in the European mystics who came after him. The great scholar of mysticism Evelyn Underhill called him "one of the most astonishing cases in history of a natural genius for the transcendent." This is a translation to modern English with an excellent introduction from the translators.
