of NorwichRevelations of Divine Love is a spiritual autobiography written by Julian of Norwich, a 14th-century English mystic and anchoress. The book is a series of visions and revelations that Julian experienced during a severe illness, which she believed were messages from God. In the book, Julian reflects on the nature of God s love and mercy, and how it is present in all aspects of life, even in suffering and sin. She also explores the concept of sin and redemption, the role of Christ in salvation, and the importance of prayer and contemplation in spiritual growth. The book is divided into two parts: the first is a shorter, more general account of Julian s visions, while the second is a longer and more detailed reflection on each vision. Throughout the book, Julian uses vivid and poetic language to describe her experiences and insights, which have made it a classic of Christian mysticism. Revelations of Divine Love is notable for its emphasis on the feminine aspects of God and the motherly love of Christ. Julian s writing has been praised for its warmth, compassion, and accessibility, as well as its theological depth. The book has been widely read and studied by Christians of all denominations, and has been a source of inspiration and comfort for many throughout the centuries.1901. Without any special study of the literature of mysticism for purposes of comparison, in reading Julian's book one is struck by a few characteristics wherein it differs from many other mystical writings, as well as by qualities that belong to most or all of that general designation. Julian does not set out to teach methods of any kind for the gradual drawing near of man to God, but to record and show forth a revelation, granted once, of God's actual nearness to the soul, and for this revelation she herself had been prepared by the stirring of her conscience, her love and her understanding, in a word of her faith.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
