À propos de cet audio

On May 8, 1373, 30-year-old Julian of Norwich, sick and near death, had a series of visions of Christ. In these 16 visions she learnt about God's loving nature. God in Julian's visions was not angry and wrathful. Instead, the three properties of God were presented as life, love and light, and all of His creation was good, including his servant, man. In Julian's version, Man is not to blame for his sin; instead it is something that he must experience and overcome in his spiritual journey with God.

The version of Christian theology presented in Revelations of Divine Love - the first published book in English attributed to a woman - was highly liberal and incredibly progressive for its time. The book contains some of the most profound spiritual writing ever written and remains a perennial favorite among Christians.

Overall this is an excellent production. The narration is clear, warm, and genuinely a pleasure to listen to, and for the most part it sustains exactly the contemplative tone Julian’s text requires. Unfortunately, the intermittent switching to female pronouns for Christ is deeply distracting. Julian famously speaks of Christ as our mother, but she does so while consistently retaining male pronouns, and that discipline is theologically and rhetorically integral to her thought. Altering the pronouns is not a neutral modernisation but a mistranslation that flattens her careful metaphor and repeatedly pulls the listener out of the contemplative register. It’s a small intervention with an outsized effect, and one that feels more like an editorial agenda than fidelity to the text. A pity—because without this, the recording would be close to ideal.

Wonderful but for the editorial interventions
