Meister Eckhart, a German Catholic theologian, philosopher, and mystic, rose to prominence during the Avignon Papacy. A member of the Dominican Order, he worked closely with lay groups like the Friends of God and influenced followers such as Johannes Tauler and Henry Suso. Despite facing accusations of heresy later in life and being tried as a heretic by Pope John XXII, Eckhart’s teachings have experienced a resurgence of interest in contemporary spirituality and scholarly discussions. He is now recognized as a significant figure in medieval scholastic and philosophical traditions.
