Selections from Saint Hildegard of Bingen's Scivias

Author: Elizabeth Ruth Obbard

Synopsis

Celebrating the 2012 declaration of Hildegard of Bingen (1098 – 1179) as a saint and a Doctor of the Church, Elizabeth Obbard, OCD interprets selections from Hildegard’s first and major work, Scivias. Hildegard writes on creation, the Trinity, baptism and confirmation, lay people, the Eucharist, the history of salvation, virtues, angels, and more. Obbard’s lucid rendering of the English text is an excellent way to access Hildegard’s wisdom.
