Julian Of Norwich Libri
Giuliana di Norwich è la mistica inglese più importante del XIV secolo, con una spiritualità fortemente trinitaria e fondamentalmente neoplatonica. Nelle sue Rivelazioni d'Amore Divino, racconta sedici visioni mistiche ricevute durante una grave malattia nel 1373. Sebbene si descrivesse come 'illetterata', Giuliana scrive con uno stile splendidamente semplice, rivelando una profonda comprensione della teologia tradizionale. Le sue visioni, spesso incentrate sulla Passione di Cristo, la conducono a profonde intuizioni sulla natura di Dio, affrontando dottrine di peccato e dannazione, ma abbracciando infine un'ottimistica certezza che 'tutto andrà bene'.
