The Book of Supreme Truth (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161557442)

The Book of Supreme Truth is a philosophical and spiritual work written by Jan van Ruysbroeck, a Flemish mystic and writer who lived in the 14th century. The book is a collection of essays and meditations on the nature of God, the human soul, and the relationship between the two. Van Ruysbroeck draws on a variety of sources, including Christian theology and mysticism, as well as his own experiences of contemplation and prayer. The book is divided into three main sections: the first explores the nature of God and the Trinity, the second focuses on the human soul and its relationship to God, and the third discusses the spiritual life and the path to union with God. Throughout the book, Van Ruysbroeck emphasizes the importance of contemplation and prayer as the means by which one can come to know God and achieve spiritual enlightenment. The Book of Supreme Truth is considered a classic of Christian mysticism and has been widely read and studied for centuries.THIS 34 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Adornment of the Spiritual Marriage; The Sparkling Stone; The Book of Supreme Truth, by Jan Van Ruysbroeck.
