"Precisely the dimension of our heritage that most needs to be
recovered...I cannot imagine a more timely publishing venture."
Huston Smith Thomas J. Watson Professor Religion & Adjunct
Professor of Philosophy Syracuse University Jacob Boehme: The Way
to Christ translation, introduction and notes by Peter Erb, preface
by Winifred Zeller "For the source in light and the source in
darkness is but a single source. Nevertheless they are one nature
just as fire and light are one nature." Jacob Boehme, 1575-1624
Evelyn Underhill called the German Lutheran Mystic Jacob Boehme
"one of the most astonishing cases in history of a natural genius
for the transcendent," Nicolas Beryaev described Boehme as "Beyond
a doubt...one of the greatest of Christian gnostics. I am using the
word not in the sense of heresies...but to indicate a wisdom
grounded in revelation and employing myths and symbols rather than
concepts-a wisdom much more contemplative than discursive." Boehme
was the son of a farmer who lived the first part of his life as a
shepherd and later became a shoemaker. He claimed that his writings
reflect only what he was taught through the direct experience of
God. A truly giant figure in the spiritual tradition, he has
greatly influenced Angelus Silesius, William Blake, John Milton,
Isaac Newton, William Law and many others. As the editor of this
volume, Peter Erb, says, "The Way to Christ provides the best
introduction to his thought and spirituality. A collection of nine
separate treatises, its parts were written late in his career and
reflect his final theological position, a position established not
aside from his earlier work, but on it...The book was intended to
serve as a meditation guide. Boehme believed that his writing had
come from the Spirit. It was intended to direct his
fellow-believers back to the Spirit as he had been directed."
