Credits: Transcribed from the 1895 Oliphant Anderson & Ferrier edition by David Price
Summary: "Jacob Behmen: An Appreciation" by Alexander Whyte is a theological commentary written in the late 19th century, specifically during the Victorian era. This book serves not only as a study of Jacob Behmen's work and philosophy but also as an exploration of his unique contributions to mysticism and German idealism. It captures the essence of Behmen's mystical experiences and his deep insights into God, nature, and the human soul, making it a significant scholarly work for those interested in Christian mysticism. In this appreciation, Whyte delves into Jacob Behmen's life, focusing on how, despite being a working shoemaker, he achieved unparalleled depth in his spiritual and philosophical writings. Behmen's thoughts, often emerging from periods of profound personal turmoil and mystical revelations, reveal his struggle to articulate the divine mysteries he perceived. Whyte discusses key works of Behmen, such as "Aurora" and "The Three Principles of the Divine Essence," illustrating Behmen's explorations of themes like the nature of God, the human soul's relationship with divinity, and the transformative power of love and repentance. Through a mixture of analysis and personal reflection, Whyte presents Jacob Behmen as a pivotal figure whose writings continue to resonate with the quest for spiritual understanding.
