DescriptionThe fourteenth-century anchorite known as Julian of Norwich offered fervent prayers for a deeper understanding of Christs passion. The holy womans petitions were answered with a series of divine revelations that she called shewings. Her mystic visions revealed Christs sufferings with extreme intensity, but they also confirmed Gods constant love for humanity and infinite capacity for forgiveness.Julian of Norwichs Revelations of Divine Love have had a lasting influence on Christian thought. Written in immediate, compelling terms, her experiences remain among the most original and accessible expressions of medieval mysticism. This edition contains both the short text, which is mainly an account of the shewings and Julians initial analysis of their meaning, and the long text, completed some 20 years later and offering daringly speculative interpretations.About the AuthorThe 14th-century author of this book was a recluse and spiritual counselor who dwelt at the Church of St. Julian in Norwich, England. She briefly chronicled her visions of Christs suffering and love immediately after their occurrence and expanded her writings some 20 to 30 years later. Considered a saint in the Anglican Church, she has not been canonized in the Roman Catholic Church, although she is revered as a holy woman.
