Solutions to thirty-eight questions, paperback/***

Perhaps the least studied of Hildegard of Bingen s writings, Solutions to Thirty-Eight Questions is translated in this volume into English for the first time from the original Latin.

In this work of exegesis, Hildegard (1098-1179) resolves thorny passages of Scripture, theological questions, and two issues in hagiographic texts.

Solutions to Thirty-Eight Questions joins Hildegards Homilies on the Gospels , which were directed to her nuns, as evidence of the seers exegetical writing as well as her authority as an exegete.

The twelfth-century saint wrote in standard genres of exegesis--homilies and solutiones --and her interpretations of Scripture were widely sought, including by male audiences.
