Hildegard: Prophet of the Cosmic Christ

by Renate Craine, Renate Craine Hildegard

Born to a wealthy family in 1098, tithed to the Church and delivered into the life of an anchorite at age seven, Hildegard was uniquely gifted with visual and auditory experiences of God for perhaps all of her 87 years. But not until a riveting command at the age of 42 did she gradually and reluctantly accept God's invitation to speak, challenge, and console in God's name. The result—a rich legacy of books, music, arts, holistic healing, and theology—is thriving today.

Really good book! Hildegard was a woman before her time and of her time. I really appreciate the author’s writing about Hildegard’s writings and symbols and visions- she made them at least a little approachable! I think I could re read this book over and over and still get something new out of it every time- lots to digest! I have one specific chapter book marked for me to take a look back at in the future to try to comprehend more of it.
