Redemption Theology in Mystical Convent Drama: "The Already and the Not Yet" in Hildegard of Bingen´s Ordo virtutum and Marcela de San Félix´s Breve festejo

This study most centrally explores the distinctly corporeal divinity 
that is revealed through mystical paradigms in two plays by female religious: Hildegard of Bingen´s (1098-1179) Ordo virtutum and a play convincingly 
attributed to Marcela de san Felix (1605-87), Breve festejo que se hizo para nuestra 
Madre priora y a alegrar la comunidad la noce de los reyes deste ano 1653. It highlights 
and analyzes the fact that, in both plays, various triadic relationships point to 
the essential presence of the second person of the Trinity in the mystical 
Godhead. The central argument is that a particularly Christocentric mystical 
divinity has theological connotations which bear investigation against the 
general problematization of the corporeal element in the mystical relational and 
theological economy through the seventeenth century. The paper articulates 
why a particularly human mystical divinity might have been undervalued in the 
Christian practice of mysticism from Medieval times onward, and exegetes why 
the bias toward transcendence over immanence in mysticism might even be 
regarded as theologically incomplete in the light of (Catholic) Christian 
redemption theology. It ends by showing how the "already and not yet" is 
alluded to in both plays, and draws some relevant theological conclusions 
which stand in answer to the transcendent deity usually privileged in mysticism, 
hearkening to other works by both Bingen and san Felix to substantiate the 
theology which can arguably be attributed to them. Along the way, relevant 
aspects of different understandings of emotionsamong them the concept of 
the humors, the Aristotelian understanding of the relationship between the 
(Christian) virtues and the emotional realm, and the central role of eros in the 
mystical practice and the theological implications of the same will be raised, 
according to the theme of this particular volume.
