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 Berdyaev 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.". Seller Inventory # 2071803
