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
