    About this ebook

    "Jacob Behmen: An Appreciation" by Alexander Whyte
    Jakob Böhme was a German philosopher, Christian mystic, and Lutheran Protestant theologian. He was considered an original thinker by many of his contemporaries within the Lutheran tradition, and his first book, commonly known as Aurora, caused a great scandal. In this book, Whyte, a man of faith in his own right, honors Behmen to ensure he isn't forgotten among the masses.
