Like Fortitude, Hildegard was enkindled by the Holy Spirit and edified many with her teaching. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Hildegard of Bingen's \u003ci\u003eHomilies on the Gospels\u003c\/i\u003e are here translated for the first time from Latin into English. Hildegard's sisters recorded and preserved her informal preaching in this collection of homilies on twenty-seven gospel pericopes. As teacher and superior to her sisters, Hildegard probably spoke to them in the chapter house, with the scriptural text either before her or recited from memory, according to Benedictine liturgical practice. The \u003ci\u003eHomilies on the Gospels\u003c\/i\u003e prove essential for comprehending the coherent theological Vision that Hildegard constructs throughout her works, including the themes of salvation history, the drama of the individual soul, the struggle of virtues against vices, and the life-giving and animating force of greenness (\u003ci\u003euiriditas\u003c\/i\u003e). Moreover, the \u003ci\u003eHomilies on the Gospels \u003c\/i\u003eestablish Hildegard as the only known female systematic exegete of the Middle Ages. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hildegard of Bingen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0879072415\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780879072414\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liturgical Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.60d","brand":"Hildegard of Bingen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044044861695,"sku":"9780879072414","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_22f7e063-cd3a-4097-a72c-dfb6f9798dc9.jpg?v=1684970609","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/homilies-on-the-gospels-241-hildegard-of-bingen-9780879072414","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
