520    Hildegard of Bingen: An Integrated Vision shows that 
       Hildegard's opus was filled with balance, unity, and a 
       stress on the Gospela life and work that served as an 
       inspiration and a challenge for the twelfth century and 
       now for us at the beginning of the twenty-first century. 
       Hildegard of Bingen: An Integrated Vision considers 
       Hildegard as a whole person and places her within her own 
       century and context. It accents what makes her such a 
       compelling figure for the modern reader while retaining 
       the integrity of her peerless voice. It also serves as an 
       introduction to Hildegard and a resource for simplistic 
       interpretations of a complex and gifted woman whose legacy
       is a multitude of works. The first chapter explains 
       Hildegard's mystical polyphony by exploring the forces 
       which shaped Hildegard's development throughout her life, 
       stressing her historical context, personal history, and 
       the setting in which she lived and wrote. Chapter two 
       explores her mystical polyphony in the explicitly 
       visionary theological works: the Scivias, the Liber vitae 
       meritorum, and the De operatione Dei. The third chapter 
       considers Hildegard's musical vision in depth. Chapter 
       four explores her non-visionary works, including the 
       "unknown language," the lingua ignota; her lives of the 
       saints and founders; and her commentaries and theories 
       about the natural world, linked to her cosmology. Chapter 
       five looks at Hildegard's prophetic gifts and voice. It 
       examines her relationships with others: in the communities
       in which she lived and governed, "in the world" by 
       correspondence or encounter, in her encounters with 
       authority, and in her claim to be an authority in her own 
       right. King-Lenzmeier concludes with such questions as 
       What makes Hildegard unique as a mystic, and what does she
       share with others? and How is Hildegard's mystical journey
       a paradigm for other mystical journeys? She draws forth 
       the major elements that integrate Hildegard's life and 
       work and indicates in what way she is an example for other
       mystics who share her polyphonic character and spiritual 
       path. The final chapter demonstrates Hildegard's 
       uniqueness among the mystics while presenting the 
       universal appeal of her mysticism. By considering all of 
       Hildegard's talents, works, and trials Hildegard of Bingen
       : An Integrated Vision shows the depth of the challenge 
       she presents to us. She calls us to look beyond the 
       everyday, but to value it at the same time; to challenge 
       our preconceived notions of gender in the divine and human
       spheres; to see that in times of hardship we cannot give 
       up; and to love life, even when it is hard to bear. She 
       gives us her example and her tools: now it is our turn to 
       figure out, singly and together, how to bring viriditas 
       more fully into the world of today and tomorrow. Chapters 
       are "Shaping Forces," "Mystical Polyphony in the Visionary
       Works," "Bringing the Strands TogetherThe Gift of Music," 
       "Earth and Heaven in Dialogue," "From Mystical Vision to 
       Prophetic Witness," and "Concluding Remarks." Includes 
       illustrations--from publisher's website.
