In the year 1373 a young Englishwoman whose name we do not know
'she is called Julian" because she lived part of her life as an
enclosed solitary in the church of St. Julian in Norwich
'experienced a series of intense Visions that she later recorded in
two versions. The formal title of the "long text" of that book is
"A Revelation of Love." It is commonly called "Showings, " the word
Julian herself used to describe her Visions.
This edition incorporates the long text of the "Showings, " as
translated by Father John-Julian, and a commentary written by
Frederick S. Roden. A lay affiliate member of the Order of Julian
of Norwich, Roden gives us a companion that is reflective yet
learned. It is designed to draw the reader more fully into an
understanding and experience of what Julian tells us she saw and
heard. In the text and commentary we begin to comprehend the truth
Julian summarizes at the end of the Showings: "Love was His
meaning."
"Frederick S. Roden, PhD, AOJN, is associate professor of
English at the University of Connecticut and an associate of the
Episcopal Order of Julian of Norwich. He is the author and editor
of scholarly books, articles, and reviews concerning religion,
gender, and culture.
John-Julian, OJN, is an Episcopal priest who in 1985 founded the
Order of Julian of Norwich, a contemplative monastic order of the
Episcopal Church that includes both monks and nuns under the same
traditional vows and with equal status. His translation "a lesson
of Love: The Revelation of Julian of Norwich" was first published
in 1989 with a second edition in 2003."
