      Valentin Weigel, ein herausragender Denker der Reformationszeit, wird in dieser kritischen Edition umfassend gewürdigt. Sein Denken zeichnet sich durch eine kohärente spiritualistische Theorie aus, die individuelle religiöse Gewissensfragen betont und die Theologie mit Naturphilosophie verbindet. Als Gegner von Intoleranz und theologischen Konflikten verkörpert Weigel eine Mystik, die frei von Dünkel und Obskurantismus ist. Die Neuedition ermöglicht einen tiefen Einblick in sein Leben und Werk, und positioniert ihn als bedeutenden religiösen Denker seiner Zeit.
