Jacob Böhme (1575–1624) was a German Christian mystic and theologian whose visionary writings attempted to explain the nature of God, evil, and the cosmos from mystical experience. His influence on German Idealism, Romanticism, and esoteric traditions was profound.
Most influential Christian mystical theologian between Eckhart and the 19th century; his theosophy influenced Schelling, Hegel, and the entire Romantic tradition.
