Description

In this Classic of Western Spirituality (TM) readers will find the first English translation of the complete works of Elisabeth of Schoenau, a twelfth-century Benedictine nun who claimed to have a series of extraordinary visionary experiences. In the complete works of Elisabeth are:-three visionary diaries: First, Second and Third Book of Visions;-a book of sermons, The Book of the Ways of God;-Revelations about the Sacred Company of the Virgins of Cologne;-The Resurrection of the Blessed Virgin;-a collection of Elisabeth's letters;-and a text describing Elisabeth's last days by her brother and secretary, Eckbert. Elisabeth's prophetic message brought consolation to the people of her day and a call for firmness of faith and the moral life.

Today's readers will gain insight into how the communal, liturgical culture of a Benedictine monastery could shape the interior life and prophetic identity of a woman committed to its ideals. The audience for this book will be broad:-historians, theologians and students of-mysticism and spirituality-women's religious life-monastic life-medieval culture-hagiography
