Volume of the Beuron Hildegard series, published by the Benedictine nuns of St. Hildegard Abbey, Eibingen. In her first major work, Hildegard of Bingen presents the grand narrative of salvation history, spanning from the creation of the world and humanity to the development and existence of the Church, culminating in redemption and completion at the end of times. Guided by her visions, she uniquely portrays the story of God and humanity, of turning away and turning towards. Hildegard's works are among the most significant in Christian literature and remain highly relevant for anyone seeking meaning and direction in their lives.
