Book Description
The fourteenth-century anchorite known as Julian of Norwich offered fervent prayers for a deeper understanding of Christ's passion. The holy woman's petitions were answered with a series of divine revelations that she called "shewings." Her mystic visions revealed Christ's sufferings with extreme intensity, but they also confirmed God's constant love for humanity and infinite capacity for forgiveness. Julian of Norwich's Revelations of Divine Love have had a lasting influence on Christian thought. Written in immediate, compelling terms, her experiences remain among the most original and accessible expressions of medieval mysticism. This edition contains both the short text, which is mainly an account of the shewings and Julian's initial analysis of their meaning, and the long text, completed some 20 years later and offering daringly speculative interpretations.

My Revelations of Love

ISBN: 1434321274

Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
As indicated in the title, this is a study in the historical evolution of the major faiths of mankind and their religious beliefs. It is not a study to prove who is right and who is wrong. As such it certainly has a different approach to the subject. The layout of the subject may not depict the usual traditional approach observed in religious works, but it certainly preserves its true historical background. This work, therefore, is mainly historical in its essence. The subject matter of this discourse is not only interesting but it is also informative and educational. When we talk about the history of mankind we also talk about the origin and the development of their religious beliefs, their culture and the social values of their life. Theology, a critical study of religious ideas, a dogmatic approach, has often, in past, been a source of divisions among the people of diverse beliefs and cultures. This planet would have been a much better place to live in, for all human beings, if man had learned to appreciate and respect the religious and cultural beliefs of the people different than those in which he had been brought up. Rather then finding differences and keeping alive hatred and dislike for other faiths and beliefs he would have done better if he had understood the common purpose that exists behind all faiths. Much has been said and written about the conduct of people who in the name of religion have de-stabilized the world peace. The dangers of such religious polemics are evident in many areas of our planate. In the pluralistic world of today no one faith has the monopoly of the Truth. People are Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists or Muslims out of their sincere convictions. Endowed with the gift of intellect, and historical inheritance, people have chosen different paths and ways in their search for the Truth. We all eat the food grown in the same soil, drink water from the same springs and breathe the air from the same atmosphere. Even while holding to our own religious views, there is no reason why we can not respect and appreciate the beliefs of the others. An old Japanese saying goes like this: "There are many paths at the foot of a mountain, but the view of the moon is the same at the top." I would consider myself rewarded if, through this work, I can arouse enough interest in the minds of my readers to know and appreciate the fundamental teachings of all religions, namely the understanding of God, the Creator of this Universe, and Man's relationship with Him.

Visions of Hell... In A Divine Revelation of Hell, over a period of thirty nights, God gave Mary K.

Showings of Julian of Norwich
Author: Mirabai Starr
Publisher: Hampton Roads Publishing
ISBN: 1612832725
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 261
Book Description
A fresh and contemporary translation of one of the best loved and influential mystical texts of all time, The Showings of Julian of Norwich brings the message and spirituality of this 14th century mystic to 21st century readers. Julian of Norwich, a contemporary of Geoffrey Chaucer, was an English anchoress in East Anglia. At the age of 30, suffering from a severe illness and believing she was on her deathbed, Julian had a series of intense visions of Jesus, which she recorded and then expanded on later in her life. Her message for today's readers is simply this: She reveals the feminine face of the Divine and reminds us to see God there. All our failings are an opportunity to learn and grow; that they should be honored, but not dwelled upon. God's love has nothing to do with love and retribution and everything to do with love and compassion. In spite of all appearances, all is well.
