Description
Summary:Often seen as a controversial figure, this paper shows Meister Eckhart to be not only a brilliant and engaging preacher, but one who exemplifies the Dominican concern for salvation of souls through the preaching of sound Christian doctrine. Developing on lessons learned from the work of Thomas Aquinas, Eckhart's analogical use of language moves his audiences away from dualistic conceptions to a non-contrastive grasp of the Creator-creature relationship so that the listener may come to a deeper understanding of the most important Christian truths about the Holy Trinity.
