HILDEGARD OF BINGEN: A Saint for Our Times: Herald of the Divine Feminine, Green Prophet, Church Reformer by Matthew Fox

2.0

I REALLY wanted to like this book. I tried very hard, but I just couldn't. It has nothing to do with the topic. Hildegard was an amazing woman. Her visions, art, and music really are treasures. This book though does something that personally rubs me the wrong way. It spends the entire book telling me what Hildegard thinks rather than showing me. This was the first book I ever read about Hildegard, and now that I'm more familiar with this saint I have even more trouble following some of the author's points. I can tell he is passionate about Hildegard. I just don't completely agree with some of his conclusions, or how he presents his arguments. I would have trouble recommending this to a friend.
