In contrast to the Latin works that convey his thought in precise and analytic detail, Eckhart's German works ponder the relationship with the divine intuitively. The sermons spoken in vernacular and transcribed and translated here, express the personal, mystical aspects of Eckart's beliefs. The treatises and other works elaborate on the same themes and are drawn from both his spoken and written work.

This treasury is the authoritative volume of Eckhart’s enduring legacy to Christianity.
