Description

Description

Revelations of Divine Love is a profound and deeply personal account of the visions that Julian of Norwich experienced in 1373. After recovering from a serious illness, Julian described the loving and compassionate God she came to know, and her remarkable theological opinions that set her apart from her time.

This new translation conveys the poise and serenity of Julian's prose style, making her ideas accessible to modern readers. The book includes both the short and long texts, written twenty years apart, which reveal Julian's development of her ideas on the nature of humanity and its potential for spiritual transformation.

With an introduction by Barry Windeatt, this edition provides a wealth of additional features, including expert notes and a bibliography, to support further study and exploration of Julian's remarkable work.
