The purpose is to write a reader-friendly book of modest length, a treatment of Meister Eckhart that makes him accessible to the twenty-first century spiritual aspirant with special attention to his deeply ecumenical dimensions (Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Sufism, Indigenous or Shamanism), to women's spirituality (he was active with the Beguine movement which was the women's movement of his time and that was condemned by the pope who ultimately condemned Meister Eckhart), issues of social justice, eco-justice and a deeply developed Cosmic Christ theology.
