Julian Of Norwich Knihy
Julian z Norwich byla nejvýznamnější anglickou mystičkou 14. století. Její duchovnost je silně trinitární a v základu neoplatónská. Ve svých Zjeveních božské lásky popisuje šestnáct mystických zjevení, která obdržela během vážné nemoci v roce 1373. Ačkoli byla „negramotná“, psala prostým, ale krásným stylem, v němž projevovala hluboké porozumění tradiční teologii. Její vize, které se zaměřují na Kristovo utrpení, ji vedou k hlubším vhledům do Boží podstaty, ačkoli se potýká s otázkami hříchu a zatracení. Navzdory tomu její spisy vyzařují optimismus a ujištění, že „všechno bude dobré“.
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.
