one of the great thinkers

Meister Eckhart, a 13th-century German monk, is recognized by an increasing, but still too-small number of spiritual seekers in the modern world. Learn about his spectacular work and thought and action in a recent book: Meister Eckhardt - A Mystic-Warrior for Our Times, by Matthew Fox.

A quote from a brief review: "Though he lived in the thirteenth century, Meister Eckhart’s deeply ecumenical teachings were in many ways modern. He taught about what we call ecology, championed artistic creativity, and advocated for social, economic, and gender justice." (Amazon.com review )
