Revelations of Divine Love

- The Devotional Revelations and Mystical Visions of a Christian Believer in 14th Century England

Bag om Revelations of Divine Love

The Revelations of Divine Love are Lady Julian of Norwich's explanations of her religious visions involving Jesus Christ - they are among the most poignant examples of Christian writing in the Middle Ages. First published in the late-14th century, Revelations of Divine Love is a series of devotional writings by one of Christianity's most revered mystics and visionaries. The text describes the sixteen visions Julian experienced, and includes her interpretation of their mystical and theological meanings. The reflections of Lady Julian were a comfort at a time when the Black Death, or bubonic plague, was ravaging Europe. Julian herself is thought to have lost her family to the plague, having taken up the position of anchoress as a means of self-quarantine from an epidemic which would eventually claim over a third of Europe's population.
