The Mystical Life of Jacob Boehme

The novels and biographies of the writer Franz Spunda distill truth and greatness directly from the numinous mystery. His work "The Mystical Life of Jacob Boehme" illuminates the walkable path to the closeness of God. As readers, we follow the Philosophus Teutonicus into the steady unfolding of his extensive insight into the plan of creation. Who found little access to the writings of the unusual shoemaker from Görlitz, becomes here his companion, is reflected in him and also feels the intimate desire for a spiritual renewal of his soul under the sign of the Rosicrucian. Integrated in the so-called Tübingen circle Böhme found that brotherhood which expanded the narrow radius of earthly life goals into the heavenly. By transfiguring that only darkness can be the bearer of light, he humbly endured deprivation, enmity.
