ⓘ About Christine Valters Paintner
While growing up in New York City, The Cloisters was one of her favorite places. It was a branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on the northern tip of Manhattan. The place is a reproduction of a medieval monastery with a cloistered garden, glorious arches, unicorn tapestries, and a stunning view of the Hudson. It was the aesthetic dimension of monastic life that captured her imagination long before she understood anything at all about its religious side. Christine’s spiritual roots are in Catholicism with a special love for the sacramental imagination, commitment to radical justice, and mystical love. Later in life, when she was studying Christian spirituality in grad school, she fell in love with the great twelfth century Benedictine Abbess, Hildegard of Bingen. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Christine Valters Paintner Religion Books series, Christine Valters Paintner has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
