Description
Hildegard of Bingen's Homilies on the Gospels offer profound insights into the Christian faith and its relevance to everyday life. Translated from Latin for the first time, these homilies provide a unique window into the theological vision of one of the Middle Ages' most influential thinkers.
Recorded by Hildegard's sisters, these informal sermons on twenty-seven gospel pericopes offer a glimpse into her teaching style and spiritual practice. The Homilies on the Gospels are essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the coherent theological framework that underpins much of Hildegard's work.
As a systematic exegete, Hildegard's writings provide a rich source of reflection on themes such as salvation history, the individual soul, and the struggle between virtues and vices. This collection is a valuable resource for anyone interested in medieval spirituality and the thought of this remarkable female scholar.
