Book Reviews of Julian of Norwich: Showings (Classics of Western Spirituality)
Book Review: A magical jewel of a book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of a wonderful series of books put out by the Paulist Press. The overall purpose is to make available to a wider public the classics of past spirituality. This book fills that purpose wonderfully.
Julian was a 14th century English anchoress, which means a person committed to the religious life who lived alone, in solitary contemplation. She became very ill at one point, and had a near death experience. In the process, she had a vision of the crucified Jesus, which healed her. She spent much of the rest of her life contemplating this vision, and unpacking its profound meaning.
The meaning that she found is not something that can be conveyed quickly, in a short review. All that I can say here is that it is genuinely profound and very personal. Any one interested in deepening their spirituality would benefit from reading this book.
