A classic work of English mysticism, Julian of Norwich's Revelations of Divine Love is an account of 16 divine visions and her meditations on them. She puts forth her ideas of God as a lover or divine love.

Julian's revelations, experienced while suffering from a serious illness, may be dismissed as simple hallucinations or could be regarded as true divine visions from God. Regardless of what one might believe, "Revelations of Divine Love" is an important historical work of Christian theology.

In listening to this I wonder if Julian ever studied Scripture. She seems to be overly concerned with sin, which Jesus took care of. Other than that, I enjoyed the narrator.

Julian of Norwich points to joy even in this world with its trials through the ever present Love that accompanies us, forgives us readily, and fosters the good in us.

Would you listen to Revelations of Divine Love again? Why?

Julian of Norwich's writing is at once profoundly nuanced in terms of scholastic theology but rooted in the personal experiences and poetry of mysticism. She can stand toe to toe with her medieval peers yet does not submit to playing their game by their rules. Her meditations have the power to inform, entertain, and inspire.

Which scene was your favorite?

I love the scene with the hazelnut. Fans of hers know what I mean (the beauty of the passage is well known and for good reason). New readers will be surprised by the subtly and accessibility of her views of the universe.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

"A surprising vision of women and Christianity in the middle ages"

Not your average everyday modern theology

Would you try another book from Julian of Norwich and/or Pam Ward?

I am so disappointed with the sing-songing voice of the narrator. Impossible for me to listen to. I am pleased with the quality of many other audio books I have purchased from audible.com but I want my money back for this one!

Terrible!

Truly desired to listen since I heard the book was so different in nature but it is so monotonous and a labor to listen. I keep trying but sadly disappointed.
