El libro de las obras divinas
El pensamiento teológico de Hildegarda de Bingen culmina en el Libro de las obras divinas, una obra que nos ayuda a situarla en el contexto de los filósofos y teólogos del siglo XII preocupados por un acercamiento a la naturaleza y la historia. Hildegarda de Bingen desarrolla un tratado cosmológico con la topografía de la salvación y la condenación, las edades del mundo y la discusión sobre la creación del mundo y el final de los tiempos, además de la intervención en la Historia de dos grandes manifestaciones divinas, Sapientia y Caritas, fuerzas amorosas que han creado y sostienen el mundo. El Libro de las obras divinas es un ascenso espiritual que hace de la experiencia interior un "envío", un mensaje que debe ser entregado a otros.

A though but marvelous read. Without doubt, Hildegard is one of the most remarkable women of the middle ages. This book is a lesson for those who think that early catholicism is devoid of connection and comprehension of the natural world. Hildegard clearly depicts each connection of the human body with the world, the influences and feedback between humanity and nature, how the world is spherical (as Eco mentioned: a lot of people, even in the Church, knew the world was spherical even before Columbus), how the divine is within us and we need to reconnect with it, and of course a profound sense of the symbolic meaning. Make no mistake: as I said, this is a though read. It’s written in the XIIth century; she comes again and again and again to the same concepts; you almost need to have some sympathy to christian theology to get through it. But the rewards are plenty within this pages.
