The Vision of God

Nicholas of Cusa is unknown to many Christians, which is unfortunate. He was very insightful about spiritual things, but he also possessed a formidable intellect that was very much at home among the loftiest themes of philosophy and theology. My first exposure to him came 30 years ago in philosophy grad school in a class on his "On Learned Ignorance"--another classic. Because my first exposure to him had been at the philosophical level, I was pleasantly surprised to encounter him in this book as a simple soul in love with God. I highly recommend it.
