In a thirteenth-century Saxon cloister, a young woman trained in the liberal arts encountered the living God and became one of the most original voices in the history of Christian mysticism.

The Wisdom of Gertrude of Helfta: Vision, Devotion, and the Sacred Heart traces the life, thought, and enduring legacy of a medieval nun whose writings on prayer, grace, and the love of Christ have inspired readers for more than seven centuries. Raised from the age of five at the monastery of Helfta, Gertrude received a rigorous education before a profound conversion experience at twenty-five redirected her intellectual gifts toward the exploration of divine mysteries. The result was a body of work that stands among the finest achievements of medieval Latin literature and among the deepest expressions of Christian contemplative experience.
