About this Book
Is it possible that Hildegard is only now being canonized? Well, whatever
the reasons, it is high time, and this very nice anthology of her sayings
is a most timely contribution to the coming celebration. This great Benedictine
saint and polymath deserves to be better known to the whole world.

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. The book includes drawings from Hildegard’s early works which help to illuminate the prophetic visions put forth by the German mystic. Hildegard is concerned with the whole panorama of the story of salvation. Reason is paramount. Order is necessary. She writes on creation, the Trinity, baptism and confirmation, lay people, the Eucharist, the history of salvation, virtues, angels, and 'The Symphony of the Blessed.' Obbard's lucid rendering of the English text is an excellent way to access Hildegard's wisdom.
