Product Description

This contemporary rendering of one of the world’s greatest spiritual classics, Julian of Norwich’s Revelations of Divine Love, breathes new life into this fourteenth-century masterpiece, revealing afresh its wisdom and insights for readers today.

At the age of thirty, suffering a severe illness and believing she was on her deathbed, Julian, a contemporary of Chaucer, had a series of intense visions of Jesus. She recovered and wrote down what she had seen and heard. Later in her life, she expanded on them and so created the first book to be written in English by a woman.
