Clavis or Key

Clavis or Key is a book written by Jacob Boehme, a German mystical philosopher and theologian. Originally published in 1624, it is a collection of his writings and teachings on spiritual and philosophical topics. The book is divided into two parts: the first part focuses on Boehme's interpretation of the Bible and the second part explores his views on the nature of God, the universe, and the human soul. Boehme's writing is known for its complex and sometimes difficult language, but it is also highly influential in the fields of theology, philosophy, and mysticism. The book is considered to be one of Boehme's most important works, and it has been studied and analyzed by scholars and spiritual seekers for centuries. Overall, Clavis or Key is a fascinating exploration of the mysteries of the universe and the human experience, written by a visionary thinker who continues to inspire and challenge readers today.Sparrow, John.
