Discover the forgotten classic that reveals original Christianity’s Non-Dualism
We are very happy to announce the publication of Christian Non-Dualism: A Commentary on Theologia Germanica, a new book by Swami Nirmalananda Giri that reveals the non-dualism at the heart of Christ’s teaching through the lens of one of Christianity’s forgotten mystical classics. Now available in paperback and ebook at Amazon. The ebook is available for only 99¢ for a limited time.
For centuries, the 14th-century work Theologia Germanica has quietly echoed the inner truths of Christian mysticism. This mystical masterpiece by an anonymous mystic of the Teutonic Order has gone through over 200 editions printed since the time of the Reformation, yet has nonetheless faded from popular view. Within its pages lies one of the clearest Christian expressions of the universal non-dual vision: that the soul must transcend its ego—its “I” and “mine”—in order to know God directly.
Swami Nirmalananda — drawing on his long background in both mystical Christianity and the non-dual wisdom of India — shows how the insights in Theologia Germanica align strikingly with Advaita Vedanta, the path of unity taught in the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita.
This is not academic theology. It is a practical guide to spiritual transformation.
“True blessedness,” the knight-priest writes, “lies not in much and many, but in One and oneness.”
