{"product_id":"wandering-joy-9780970109712","title":"Wandering Joy","description":"In this remarkable work, Reiner Schürmann shows Meister Eckhart, the thirteenth-century Christian mystic, as the great teacher of the birth of God in the soul, which shatters the dualism between God and the world, the self and God. This is an exposition of Eckhar's mysticism-perhaps the best in English-and, because Eckhart is a profound philosopher for whom knowing precedes being, it is also an exemplary work of contemporary philosophy. Schürmann shows us that Eckhart is our contemporary. He describes the threefold movement of detachment, release, and \"dehiscence\" (splitting open), which leads to the experience of \"living without a why,\" in which all things are in God and sheer joy. Going beyond that, he describes the transformational force of approaching the Godhead, the God beyond God: \"A man who has experienced the same no longer has a place to establish himself. He has settled on the road, and for those who have learned how to listen, his existence becomes a call. This errant one dwells in joy. Through his wanderings the origin beckons.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lindisfarne Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780970109712\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.01w x 0.73d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2001 pg. 99\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2001 pg. 2\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Meister Eckhart","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43471109161141,"sku":"9780970109712","price":21.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_8e13f4bc-68db-4781-9239-ba3263952733.jpg?v=1704822708","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/wandering-joy-9780970109712","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
