Customer Reviews

I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!

'Mystic and theologian' is a perfect subtitle to this book. As Julian's experience, deepening ponderings and reflections feed my heart AND my head, so does this book. Talk about integration, whole-making! This exposition makes me fall and fall and fall deeper into truth in Julian' writings, deeper into the truth of myself, and deeper in love with God. thank you grace.

Excellent resource

Grace Jantzen presents a thorough, interesting background of Julian's place, time, and spirituality. It is especially valuable because, unlike many other contemporary books on the topic, it is not speculative - conclusions can be trusted because no half truths are justified. Excellent scholarly work. Only the political correctness in the introduction is a bit boring.
