Author: Fox, Matthew

If Hildegard had been a man, she would be well known as one of the greatest artists and intellectuals the world has ever seen, writes Matthew Fox, founder of Creation Spirituality. Virtually forgotten for over 800 years, the 12th-century Benedectine abbess has been recently rediscovered as a prominent preacher, healer, scientist, mystic, theologian, composer, and author of her time. This introduction to her life and teachings includes 24 full-color reproductions of the illuminations she painted to record her mystical visions.
