Shorter College professor’s work featured in Christianity Today
Dr. Carmen Acevedo Butcher, associate professor of English and scholar-in-residence at Shorter College, recently compiled and translated an article that received national exposure on ChristianityToday.com.
The article, published under the Classic Faith for Modern Times series, is titled “The Singing Nun: Hildegard of Bingen.” According to the article, Hildegard of Bingen founded two convents and organized the first public preaching tours ever conducted by a woman. She also worked as a healer, naturalist, botanist, dietary specialist, and exorcist. Hildegard of Bingen used her musical talents to compose daring music and wrote the first surviving sung morality play.
