Meister Eckhart: Teacher and Preacher (English, Latin and German Edition)

Here are the texts that illustrate the diversity of one of the most enigmatic and influential mystics of the Western Christian tradition. Eckhart the teacher is represented by the Commentary on Exodus and by selections from six other commentaries, including the Commentary on Wisdom 7:14, the Commentary on Ecclesiasticus 24:29, and the Commentary on John 14:8. Eckhart's ministry as a preacher was an equally important part of the man, and thus his sermons, from both the Latin and the Middle High German manuscripts, are included. What emerges is a comprehensive picture of the works of this great speculative theologian. Together with Meister Eckhart: The Essential Sermons, Commentaries and Treatises, this work form the most extensive corpus of Eckhart's writings in English. Eckhart The Teacher / Translated By Bernard Mcginn, Commentary On Exodus. Selections From The Commentary On The Book Of Wisdom, From The Sermons And Lectures On Ecclesiasticus, And From The Commentary On John -- Eckhart The Preacher. Latin Sermons / Translated By Bernard Mcginn. German Sermons / Translated By Frank Tobin -- The Sister Catherine Treatise / Translated By Elvira Borgstädt. Edited By Bernard Mcginn With The Collaboration Of Frank Tobin And Elvira Borgstadt ; Preface By Kenneth Northcott. Includes Bibliographies And Indexes. It should be noted that only a few passages in Exodus are interpreted here, both because they are handled in the Glosses (and generally by the commentators), and also because the opportunity to discuss them is rather rare.
