Steiner explores Boehme's life and writings, which were highly controversial at the time due to their unorthodox views on God and the nature of the universe.Throughout the book, Steiner provides insight into the spiritual significance of Weigel and Boehme's teachings, and how they influenced the development of Christian mysticism.
