The most readable of Böhme's works and the best entry point into his mystical theology. Four dialogues between a scholar and his master explore the central themes of his thought: how the soul escapes the prison of self-will, how it enters the 'supersensual' ground beyond sensation and reason, what heaven and hell truly are, and how the spirit travels from darkness to illumination. Translated and paraphrased by William Law, these dialogues shaped the English mystical tradition and directly influenced figures from Quaker thought to William Blake.
