Divine Spirituality

In an era when many Christians consider Jesus a beloved but remote savior, Willard argues compellingly for the relevance of God to every aspect of our existence. Christians, Willard says, for the most part consider the primary function of Christianity to be admittance to heaven.

"Je suis passionnée par les mythes, car ce sont à mes yeux des histoires canons, dont les symboles continuent d'agir sur nous. Et dans nos traditions mythologiques, un motif en particulier me fascine, c'est la descente volontaire d'un héros ou d'une héroïne dans un monde souterrain invisible aux mortels, par exemple le monde des Enfers dans les épopées grecques, ou l'Enfer chrétien. C'est toujours une initiation afin d'acquérir un savoir, un pouvoir, une guérison, une quête à la recherche d'une âme, ou encore pour une transformation personnelle."

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.
