The writings of Jacob Boehme are notoriously difficult, largely due to the vocabulary. After all, how many 21st century readers are familiar with the terminology of Kaballah, Corpus Hermeticum, the Rose Cross, Luther, Eckhardt, Paracelsus AND the Old and New Testaments? Then there are Boehme's own neologisms - byss, limus, lubet, flagrat - which, modern readers will be pleasantly surprised to learn, are easily resolved as ground, seed, desire and sunburst. Other concepts, such as Three Principles, Seven Properties, Antichrist, Sophia and Signature require encyclopedic essays. The Lexicon will serve newcomers and initiates alike as a reference, or when read through from A to Z, as a concise introduction to Boehme's thought.
