Teachings from this fourteenth-century mystic provide spiritual
direction and call for you to open yourself, body and soul, to
divine love.
Many people are familiar with the phrase "All shall be well" but
do not know much, if anything, about Julian of Norwich, the
fourteenth-century English mystic who wrote those words. Thomas
Merton declared her to be without a doubt one of the most wonderful
of all Christian voices, and former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan
Williams says that her writings may well be the most important work
of Christian reflection in the English language.
This accessible introduction to Julian's Revelations of Divine
Love, an extended reflection on a series of her mystical visions,
includes an informative introduction that addresses the historical,
cultural and sociological context of Julian s life and writings.
Mary Earle s facing-page commentary focuses on Julian s profoundly
hopeful vision of humanity and God, her creative imagery and her
rigorous honesty about the spiritual life. Drawing directly from
Julian s text, Earle addresses a variety of topics essential to
understanding Julian s mysticism, including the infinite nature of
God, the life of prayer, God s suffering with us, the eternal and
undying life of the soul, the motherhood of Jesus and the
motherhood of God, all shall be well and more.
