Jacob Böhme's teachings encompass the universal history of all becoming, from the origin of God to the completion of all being, thus offering an alternative speculative interpretation of Christian salvation history. In this book, Wilhelm Schmidt-Biggemann presents the entire work of the ›Philosophus Teutonicus‹ for the first time in the history of Böhme research, situating it in its political context and defining it in its intellectual-historical tradition. He describes Böhme’s biography and his environment, his teachings according to their guiding principles, and the structure of his most important writings.
