Description

Hildegard of Bingen was one of the greatest thinkers and doers of the Western Church. The great renaissance woman - musician and poet, dramatist and physicist doctor and prophet painter and leader of both men and women lover of the earth and all creation - can no longer be ignored. She represents the big link between Christian spirituality and pre-patriarchal spiritualities. This book represents the very first time that Hildegard's words have appeared in the English language and is an excellent introduction to her works.

Reviews

"Her writings are among the earliest important mystic works of the Middle Ages. Like Dante, Hildegard conceived the universe holistically and emphasized the inseparability of the physical and spiritual." * Judy Chicago *
"Hildegard of Bingen [was] one of the greatest thinkers of the Western church. She represents the big link between Christian spirituality and pre-patriarchal spiritualities. I celebrate her return in our midst in this format that encourages prayer and sharing." * Matthew Fox *
