Recent years have seen growing interest in medieval
women mystics and visionaries, including the
thirteenth century monastic theologian St. Gertrud
the Great of Helfta. But focus on their
dramatic spiritual experiences sometimes leads to
neglect of the equally impressive theological
sophistication of their writings. This book offers
a groundbreaking interpretation of Gertrud s
greatest surviving work, the Herald of God s
Loving-Kindness. The Herald combines her spiritual
autobiography with her biography and vision stories
shared with other nuns. Grimes
work demonstrates Gertrud s lively weaving of her
own experiences with Scripture, liturgy, and classic
theological works, especially Augustine s
Confessions. It validates the important
contribution of Gertrud s sister-collaborators to
the Herald, sometimes downgraded by
scholars. This is an excellent text for
graduate and advanced undergraduate courses in
Theology, History, and Women s Studies. It will be
of compelling interest not just to medievalists and
feminist theologians, but to all who are fascinated
by spirituality and the place of women in Christian
history and tradition.
