Written by Böhme in 1622, this text is a dialogue between a master and his disciple on the way which man must follow in order to realise his divine calling. In the form of specific, closed questions and answers, it thereby provides a very engaging and accessible overview of Jakob Böhme’s spirituality. The new translation presented here ensures to present the great mystic’s ideas in the full light of their profound experience and as simply as possible, as the shoemaker from Görlitz would have wished. It thereby provides a very engaging overview of Jakob Böhme’s spirituality, one of the West’s great mystics, a devout Christian in heart and mind, but also an individual whose approach greatly evoked the oriental spiritualities of Sufism and Buddhism.
