The following article intends to present Meister Eckhart, German mystical theologian of the thirteenth century, the Order of Preachers (Dominicans) as a reference in biblical hermeneutics from Negative Theology and Ascetic, dialoguing with Scholastic, with Mystical Christian Tradition and Literature Hermetic and the Wisdom literature. We founded our analysis of the texts of sermons Germans work of Eckhart he makes biblical commentaries using medieval exegetical methods stressing the conceptual elements of his Mystical Theology, creatively enabling a unique interpretation that will influence other generations of mystics in the centuries following. Eckhart will responsibly transcend both the dogmatic limits of teaching, as the exegetical method and the boundaries of scholarship, and so misunderstood and condemned anathema. Eckhart is presented here for those suspected of being too attached to the Theology method, the dogma and the reason for the creative and responsible towards overcoming transcendence.Downloads
