Surprisingly good
I found this to be an expectantly fine introduction to the rich and complex thought of Meister Eckhart. The author managers in the course of nine short lectures to give an overview of the wealth and depth of this great thinker. The narration does not have the polish of a professional reader, but that is easy to overlook. For anyone interested in the subject, this is a great place to begin.

Absolutely lovely.
Wonderful summary of some of Eckhart’s fundamental concepts. And to hear it from a scholar who can so carefully articulate them was delightful. Thank you.

Had what I was searching for.
I look to understand Meister Eckhart and of course His lecturers would need to be insightful about the remarkable subject he was insightful about. These were successful lectures that provide insight into the setting as well as to the revelations that informed Eckardt’s ministry. Nicely done.

This is a very complex subject and is presented in a confusing manner.
I personally found this book very difficult to follow and the performance very much lacking. While the subject matter is quite difficult to comprehend to begin with the flow of this book makes it even more so.
