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. Drawing directly from Julian’s text, the commentary
