Hildegard of Bingen

Resumen del Libro

“Humanity, take a good look at yourself. Inside, you’ve got heaven and earth, and all of creation. You’re a world – everything is hidden in you.” –Hildegard of Bingen She was a Benedictine abbess, artist, composer, dietician, naturalist, poet, travelling preacher, mystic, and political consultant. She was a self-doubter with acute certainty in a merciful and mysterious God; a gifted healer who suffered from illness her whole life. Meet the incomparable Hildegard of Bingen. Nourishing, challenging, and idea-bursting, her writings will stir and awaken your soul. This essential reader captures the vibrant spirit and intelligence of Hildegard with selections from her songs, theological texts, liturgical music, and letters. Combined with an introduction to Hildegard’s life and era, a map of Hildegard’s Germany, chronology, and a thorough bibliography/discography, Hildegard of Bingen provides the ideal introduction to the thought of this fascinating medieval mystic. “Nothing short of delightful . . . . I often felt I was reading Hildegard, the real Hildegard, for the first time.” -Dr. Katharina Wilson, Professor of Comparative Literature, The University of Georgia “This book is a gift to the church. Carmen Butcher wisely selects and elegantly translates Hildegard’s works, including her soaring music, spiritual visions, and selected letters.” -Scot McKnight, author of The Jesus Creed and The Real Mary “Carmen Butcher has tapped into St. Hildegard’s spirit and made it accessible.” – Br. Benet Exton, O.S.B., St. Gregory’s Abbey and University

La Fe Cristiana Frente A los Desafios Contemporaneos = Christian Faith and Contemporary Challenges

40 secrets for the single woman

In "40 Secrets for he Single Woman", Nanda Bezerra draws on her own experiences and offers valuable tips. The author says, "In my opinion, these tips should not be read all at once (if you are able to resist the temptation), but one secret should be read a day in order to work on a different task each day. I believe that even before the 40 days are up, you will see the benefits."

La religión, el mundo y el cuerpo

El presente volumen, compuesto por cuatro artículos del autor publicados previamente en diferentes medios, se centra en la dimensión humana de la religión. El primer texto nos habla de la conversión a la que están llamadas las religiones, ya que no tienen el monopolio de la dimensión religiosa del hombre, que resurge a pesar de las esclerosis culturales y de las mismas religiones. El segundo se refiere al estudio de las religiones, un estudio que no ha de separarlas del mundo, como sucede a menudo. El tercero se ocupa del cuerpo del hombre, hoy desgraciadamente castigado por quien lo...
