He was a Dominican priest, a man of the turbulent Middle Ages &mdasgl bound by the theological expectations of the Church, yet with a heart as wide open as the sky.
He has been called a bridge between Eastern and Western mysticism, the man from whom God hid nothing.
Zen masters have claimed he was enlightened, and the modern Christian can only marvel at the radical nature of his monotheism.
Come and meet Meister Eckhardt — through his own words — and learn why he prayed so fervently these words:
“God save me from my idea of god.”
