Dialogues on the Supersensual Life

by Jakob Boehme

Jakob Böhme (1575–1624) was a German Lutheran shoemaker of Görlitz whose visions launched a prolific career of mystical writing. His first book, Aurora, scandalized his pastor and was banned for years, yet his works spread across Europe and influenced Pietism and later philosophy. Our library holds The Way to Christ and his Dialogues on the Supersensual Life, among his more devotional writings on repentance, prayer, and new birth in Christ.

About this book

Two dialogues between a master and his disciple by Jakob Boehme, the German Lutheran shoemaker and theosophist. The conversations concern the supersensual life — the life of the soul hidden with God beyond the senses — and how a seeker may enter it. Written in 1624, the year of Boehme's death, they offer his teaching in an unusually direct, pastoral form.
