Men Who've Walked With God: Meister Eckhart, 1953 July 5


Listen Later

In the 11th sermon from the series "The Men Who've Walked With God," Thurman explains the complex theology of Meister Eckhart. Eckhart believes that there is the Godhead, the ground of all things. This Godhead element is a part of a person's soul, and is always yearning to spill over. For Thurman, spiritual discipline is about giving more of one's life to this core. With Eckhart's Godhead insight, we can no longer deny the infinite worth of any human being; furthermore, our responsibility is to honor the Godhead in others above all else so that we may connect with one another core to core. Thurman says that when this takes place, the kingdom of God is manifested.
