| Summary |
Julian of Norwich's Revelations of Divine Love is truly an amazing work: an example of Christian mysticism, a unique contribution to Christian theology, the first book in English known to have been written by a woman. But it can also be a daunting work. Veronica Mary Rolf, who has been studying Julian's text for decades, serves as a guide for readers willing to take up and read Revelations of Divine Love by setting it in its fourteenth-century context and illuminating our understanding of this enduring work and its claim that "all shall be well." |
