“Without diluting the weight and message of the Meister, this book opens a way into new territory and leads us into the rich wilds of his apophatic theology. Here we find not an impenetrable medieval map in language we cannot read but a work of timeless freshness, coursing with vital nourishment, as strange and as familiar as our own hearts.”—Dr. Rebecca Stephens, chair of the Eckhart Society and author of Grounding the Soul“When we first begin to read Meister Eckhart, we sense that there is great depth and beauty in his writings, but entering them can be difficult. This is a book that guides such an entrance. What lies at the heart of this book is how Burrows and Sweeney mark out a path that can help us find our way into the intimate interiority of Eckhart’s awakened heart—which invites us into our own. The Meister knew that what we find, when we go there, is that he is speaking out of that experience. Burrows and Sweeney invite us into the discovery of that intimacy in ourselves, one we find already waiting for us in the depths of our lives. The wisdom of this book, in its eloquent simplicity, reminds us that ours is the work of staying there long enough so that it can have its way with us.” —James Finley, author of Meister Eckhart’s Living Wisdom and The Healing Path“There can be no question that we live in the midst of an unprecedented Eckhart revival. Eckhart societies flourish; Eckhart conferences proliferate. Eckhart’s writings are available in many languages; studies and interpretations of the German Dominican abound. Introducing Eckhart’s challenging thought, however, is not an easy task. This is what makes Meister Eckhart: Inside the Heart of a Mystic so welcome. In clear, succinct, and penetrating style this book covers the major aspects of Eckhart’s mystical message, leading the reader along what Eckhart called ‘the wayless way’ to God, which paradoxically reveals itself not so much as a ‘way,’ but as a realization that God is everywhere, especially in the depths of the heart.” —Bernard McGinn, professor emeritus, University of Chicago Divinity School, and author of The Mystical Thought of Meister Eckhart
