This book considers the place of deification in the writings of
Julian of Norwich and Richard Rolle, two of the fourteenth-century
English Mystics. It argues that, as a consequence of a belief in
deification, both produce writing that is helpfully viewed as
sacred eloquence. The book begins by discussing the nature of
deification, employing Norman Russell's typology. It explores the
realistic and ethical approaches found in the writings of several
Early Greek Fathers, including Irenaeus of Lyons, Cyril of
Alexandria, Origen, and Evagrius Ponticus, as well as engaging with
the debate around whether deification is a theological idea found
in the West across its history. The book then turns its attention
to Julian and Rolle, arguing that both promote forms of
deification: Rolle offering a primarily ethical approach, while
Julian's approach is more realistic. Finally, the book addresses
the issue of sacred eloquence, arguing that both Rolle and Julian,
in some sense, view their words as divinely inspired in ways that
demand an exegetical response that is para-biblical. Offering an
important perspective on a previously understudied area of
mysticism and deification, this book will be of interest to
scholars of mysticism, theology, and Middle English religious
literature.
