Jantzen (read 21 Nov 2009) The author, born a Mennonite, who became a Quaker, studies very sympathetically Julian of Norwich, (born about 1342, died after 1413) who was an anchoress and had visions of Christ's Passion about which she wrote two separate accounts. This book delves into her theological views, reading into them feminist ideas. Much of the book is heavy going for a non-theologian but there are some encouraging words for ones who hope to attain eternal salvation, I thought. ( ) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Julian of Norwich, an anchoress of the fourteenth century has captured the imagination of our time in a remarkable way. She shares with her readers the deepest and most intimate experiences of her life through her writings, which are sustained reflections on the visions which appeared to her during a severe illness. Yet of her life and her world we know virtually nothing, not even how she came to be an anchoress. This detailed study of Julian attempts not only to penetrate her theological ideas but also bring to life her world and her life as an anchoress. This is a book not only for those who have a scholarly interest in Julian, but for anyone drawn to Christian mysticism and the place of women within that tradition. In the new introduction to this edition, Grace Jantzen explores what it might mean to be an anchoress in postmodernity, and how reflections on Julian of Norwich and her desire for God can enable us to become the space of divine transformation.
