Description

One of the most influential German mystical writers of the 14th century, Johannes Tauler (c. 1300-1361) spent his life as a mendicant preacher in the Order of Preachers. These selected sermons show Tauler's emphasis on the via negativa together with his insistence on the importance of cataphatic mysticism and the merits of an active life.

> « C'est une grande honte et une ignominie que l'homme connaisse tant de choses
et ne se connaisse pas lui-même. Personne ne doit rester dans le doute concernant
sa vie éternelle, car nous devons savoir, et non pas avoir une simple opinion
sur la façon dont Dieu est en nous et dont nous nous comportons à son égard.
