Revelations of Divine Love by Julian Of Norwich (English) Paperback Book

Description: Revelations of Divine Love by Julian Of Norwich, A. Spearing, Dr Elizabeth Spearing Contains both the short text, which is mainly an account of the showings themselves and Julians initial interpretation of their meaning, and the long text, completed some twenty years later, which moves from vision to a daringly speculative theology. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description New translation of a compelling work which stands alongside The Cloud of Unknowing and Langlands Piers Plowman as a classic from this golden age of literature.Coming from a society where women were barred from serious writing and teaching, Julian, an anchorite of the great medieval city of Norwich, nevertheless uses her womanlines and the English vernacular of the day to describe a series of revelations which she received from God in the year 1373. She identifies the female nature of Christs suffering and the motherhood of God, using images from domestic daily life, emphasizing the homeliness of Gods love. She writes in a lively and unpretentious manner and her theology is precise without ever being pedantic. Author Biography Julian of Norwich (c. 1342 after 1416) was the first woman writer in English. Nothing is known of her background or even her real name, simply that she believed she was a messenger to all Christians because of her showings from God.A.C. Spearing and Elizabeth Spearing have published numerous books and articles on medieval literature.
