Explorers Guide To Julian Of Norwich

“All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.”

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.”
