"The fiery life of divine wisdom" captured in the writings of
this twelfth-century Christian mystic, visionary and healer can be
a companion on your own spiritual journey.
Hildegard of Bingen (1098 1179) was a Christian mystic,
visionary, abbess, composer, dramatist, poet and healer. The
brilliance and passion of her writings including inscriptions of
her visions, letters, liturgical antiphons, hymns, a morality play
and medical and scientific works speak to readers within the church
as well as those who are not formally religious but have an
interest in mysticism, the spiritual life, the relationship between
spirituality and creativity, feminist and eco-spiritualities and
the arts. Though considered a controversial figure in her day, she
was recently canonized and proclaimed a doctor of the church, an
honor extended to only three other women saints in Christian
history.
This groundbreaking introduction to her rich and varied writings
presents a wide range of Hildegard's works grouped by theme,
providing a deeper understanding of this influential spiritual
figure than single-themed collections can. Insightful and
instructive annotations provide the reader with suggestions for how
to read or listen to medieval mystical texts as well as how to
engage fully with Latin chants, allowing readers to effectually
begin a dialogue between the world of this twelfth-century mystic
and our own."
