An Introduction to
Julian of Norwich
Come and explore with us some of the visionary and inspiring writings of Julian of Norwich, an English woman writer who lived between 1342 and 1416.Julian of Norwich is one of the most celebrated figures of the English Middle Ages. She is esteemed as one of the subtlest writers and profoundest thinkers of the period for her account of the revelations that she experienced in 1373.
Julian lived as an anchoress in Norwich, and after recovering from a serious illness she described that visions that had come to her during her suffering. She conceived of a loving and compassionate God, merciful and forgiving, and believed in our ability to reach self-knowledge despite sin. She wrote of God as our mother, and embraced strikingly independent theological opinions. Her classic work; “A Revelation of Love” still inspires people all around the world today.
These evenings will be led by Dr. Jonathan Juilfs, (assisted by the Rector) a parishioner of St. John’s and professor at Redeemer University whose PhD thesis, in part, was based upon Julian’s writings.
