Revelations of Divine Love - Julian of Norwich
Edited by Robert Llewellyn
Translated by Elizabeth Spearing with an introduction and notes by A. C. Spearing
'Just because I am a woman, must I therefore believe that I must not tell you about the goodness of God, when I saw at the same time both his goodness, and his wish that it should be known?
Coming from a society where women were barred from serious writing and teaching, Julian, an anchorite in the great medieval city of Norwich, nevertheless used the English vernacular of the day to describe an extraordinary series of 'showings' which she received from God. Through her experiences, she identifies the female nature of Christ's suffering and the motherhood of God, and, using images from domestic daily life, emphasizes the homeliness of God's love. In the famous parable of the Lord and the Servant, she reveals her penetrating insight into the mystery of salvation; and she moves towards the controversial belief that God's love will not allow any of humankind to be lost.
The new translation, which includes both the long and short versions of her Revelations, preserves all the directness of expression and the rich complexity of her thought; offering a work which stands alongside The Cloud of Unknowing and Langland's Piers Plowman.

'The Gift of Julian of Norwich'
Text by Karen Manton, Illustrated by Lynne Muir.
In a time of political violence and religious censorship in the fourteenth century, Julian of Norwich dared to speak about love and her understanding of God through her remarkable book of 'Showings' or revelations. This series of sixteen visions came to her during a severe illness when she was thirty. Her message is thet God who is all love, all goodness, and the source of all existence, will make all things well. Yet Julian also asks: 'How shall all be well?' in the face of suffering and pain.

Showing of love - Translated by Julia Bolton Holloway
Though lost for centuries, the Showing of Love written by the Englishwoman Julian of Norwich in the Middle Ages has now become one of the most celebrated and studied of all spiritual texts. The Showing of Love is more than the record of an extraordinary religious experience and a guide to a life of prayer. Julian's work covers all the main areas of Christian doctrine and integrates them into a coherent whole, showing the interconnectedness of theology and spirituality. This completely new translation is based on many years of study of the different surviving manuscripts, and is faithful to Julian's original as accessibility to the non-specialist reader will allow.

She cites the scriptural and patristic precedents for Julian's use of feminine imagery in her writing, and develops a study of the creation-centred aspects of Julian's theology.
