Julian of Norwich and the Mystical Body Politic of Christ provides
a close and historically sensitive reading of Julian's Revelation
of Love that addresses the question of the relationship between our
understanding of God and our vision of human community. By
examining Julian's images of Christ's body, this book seeks to
discern the "political" meaning of her theology. Locating these
images within the context of late medieval debates over the nature
and extent of divine power, the book argues that Julian presents an
alternative account of divine power in which the crucified body of
Christ becomes the focus and shape of divine omnipotence. This
account of divine power serves as the norm of all human exercise of
power, rendering the possibility of the "mystical body politic of
Christ" as the exemplary form of human community. In this reading,
the theological is irreducibly political and the political is
irreducibly theological. As such, Julian is presented as both a
theologian of the first rank and one who "imagines the political".
