A short introduction to Hildegard of Bingen, newly declared Doctor of the Church, and a woman of such formidable accomplishments that one wonders if there was anything she did not master!

The Art of Loving is a steady guide in today's turbulent times, a handbook for anyone who strives each day to answer the call of love, which Chiara Lubich believed to be the primary vocation of every human person and our individual and collective fulfillment.

By linking together a series of brilliantly chosen texts from the early centuries of the Church, the author lays bare the roots of the deeply mystical spirituality that has flourished among Christians throughout the ages.
