"The sermons of Meister Eckhart have long attracted readers with their daring ideas and brilliant use of language. In The Unspoken Word, Bruce Milem examines four sermons to show that Eckhart's distinctive way of speaking reflects his theological views, especially his commitment as a negative theologian to the absolute ineffability of God. As a preacher, Eckhart faced the challenge of talking about something that cannot be grasped in language. Instead of providing straightforward statements of doctrine or instructions about mystical experience, Eckhart's sermons use paradox, wordplay, and imagery to engage his readers dialectically and bring them to a new perspective on themselves in relation to God. This perspective treats God as being both distinct and indistinct from ordinary things, including the soul. Knowing God is a process of coming to acknowledge one's own contingency as a created thing in time, which exists only because it receives its being from God in every moment. For Eckhart, Christian practice is not intended to achieve eternal salvation or ecstatic union with the divine. Rather, it confesses and proclaims the soul's recognition of its ontological dependence on God. Eckhart expresses this perspective through complex verbal images that attempt to disclose something of God while emphasizing their own inevitable shortcomings.". "The four sermons studied in this volume are among his most well known, for they display in a remarkably compressed fashion the main themes of Eckhart's thinking, and they provide leading examples of the rhetorical flair that made him famous as a preacher. From them, and Bruce Milem's illuminating commentary, readers will gain important insight into Eckhart's whole activity as a preacher and theologian."--BOOK JACKET. …

The Unspoken Word: Negative Theology in Meister Eckhart's German Sermons by Bruce Milem, published in 2002. his detailed study of four sermons by the 13th-century Dominican friar Meister Eckhart shows how he used complex verbal images and wordplay to transmit the paradox that God is `both distinct and indistinct from ordinary things, including the soul'.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. United States combat involvement in Southeast Asia is winding down, but to those tasked to face the enemy, the intensity is heart stopping and the action is life threatening. Young EUSTIS JAMES takes on the challenges of life during this turbulent period. Not long removed from a simple midwestern college life, EUSTIS JAMES shifts his priorities from simple subsistence to general existence. While the country foments, he speculates on whether or not the conflict will end before it is necessary to emerge from his safety cocoon. He is apolitical, but the machinery of the U.S. Selective Service System pushes him inexorably into a combat role in the Southeast Asian conflict. When he arrives it is spring, that dry period that permits easier movement of men and materials. The Communist enemy masses troops and supplies in Laos and Cambodia in preparation for what it hopes to be the final victory over the regime in the south. If the NVA (North Vietnamese Army) and Vietcong can smash the U.S. supported resistance, they can declare victory over a world superpower as well as the long time enemy in Saigon. Conventional wisdom has always been that the NVA only survive because they avoid any face-to-face confrontations with the U.S. military. The warm weather offensive of 1972 puts that concept to the test. Pouring powerfully out of Laos and Cambodia, the enemy struts into South Vietnam to confront the U.S. backed forces directly. The results are bloody and the outcome is in doubt. Air support for the ARVN (Army of the Republic of Vietnam) will determine the victor. The stakes do not get any higher. This is a life and death poker game and EUSTIS JAMES has just taken a seat at the velvet table. This item is printed on demand.
