Fresh translations of Meister Eckhart's sermons are made available
in this volume: three for the first time in English and sixteen
others for the first time since C. de B. Evans translated them in
1924 and 1931, long before the critical editions of the manuscripts
were published in 2003. Other important sermons are included in the
translations as well. They improve upon previous translations which
were not as sensitive to Eckhart's metaphorical repertoire and his
subtle word choice and phrasing. The extended introductory essay
describes Eckhart's metaphors and how they work together to form a
cohesive whole. By looking at what his metaphors tell us about what
an individual person is and how the view of the individual changed
in the late medieval world, his ostensibly shocking rhetoric (in
places where it is actually novel) is shown to be indicative of a
larger cultural tide that culminated in the modern worldview.
Finally, all of his homiletic choices are shown to be in service of
the greater goal: catalyzing transformative change in his audience
by stubbornly insisting on his paradoxes and jarring people out of
their customary way of relating to God and themselves.
