Revelations of Divine Love by Julian of Norwich

4.0

---

Julian's writing seem very simple, and her conclusions somewhat obvious, but she is still an interesting read. She's one of the earliest female theologians we have, and she was illiterate. Her insights came from visions and dreams interpreted through a deep love for Christ and the teaching of the church. Her vision of the hazelnut and her ponderings on Mary struck me and I have been thinking about them a lot ever since.
