The Inner Way: The Mystical Theology of John Tauler

"The Illuminated Doctor" John (Johannes) Tauler has been described as “one of the foremost among the medieval German mystics and preachers, uniting the intellectual depth of Eckhart with the interior spirituality of Suso and the fervor of Berthold of Ratisbon.” The Inner Way brings together thirty-seven of Tauler's finest sermons, written for festivals ranging from the Conception, Nativity, Annunciation and Assumption of Our Lady, to the Feast Days of more than a dozen Saints and Martyrs, to the Exaltation of the Holy Cross - all revealing and reveling in Tauler's unique perspective on spiritual truth - a view that is neither purely intellectual, nor purely emotional, but which, rather, employs all the powers of the soul. In this E-Saint Library eBook edition, Old English usage has been meticulously revised to conform to the patterns of modern Western English speech, in hopes of making the profound content of this book more available and of greater practical use to modern readers.
