"The Way of Paradox" by Cyprian Smith offers a deep and accessible introduction to the mystical theology of Meister Eckhart, the 14th-century Dominican whose teachings continue to inspire spiritual seekers today. Drawing on Eckhart’s sermons and writings, Benedictine monk Cyprian Smith presents a compelling vision of the spiritual life as a journey through paradox—where we discover God by letting go, find fulfilment in emptiness, and encounter the divine at the heart of our humanity.
Blending Christian mysticism, psychology, and contemplative practice, this modern classic is a guide for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of God beyond doctrine and into experience. It invites readers to explore the tension between being and becoming, action and stillness, and to embrace the contradictions that open the soul to God.
