The theological thought of Hildegard of Bingen culminates in the Book of Divine Works, a work that helps us to place it in the context of the philosophers and theologians of the twelfth century concerned about an approach to the nature and history.

Hildegard of Bingen develops a cosmological treatise with the topography of salvation and damnation, the ages of the world and discussion on the creation of the world and the end of time, only the action in the history of two great divine manifestations, Sapientia and Caritas , loving forces that created and sustains the world.

The Book of Divine Works is a spiritual ascent of inner experience makes a "sending" a message to be delivered to others.
