| Publisher Description: Tlie figure or Hildegard or Bingen towers both over her own and our present age.Her ideas about healing, the arts, the relationship between science and theology, the interdependence of male and female and the interconnectedness of all living beings with each other and their Creator have extraordinary relevance to our contemporary understanding of these issues.l Yet For all Hildegard's astonishing creativity and originality, her pirituality is Firmly rooted in the Rule of St Benedict and its emphasis on daily prayer and meditative reading- of the Scriptures. This introduction to her life and thought includes many practical spiritual exercises that will enable us to bring Hildegard's wisdom and vision of wholeness to our busy, fragmented lives today. |
