Revelations of Divine Love

Revelations of Divine Love is a book by Julian of Norwich, first published in 1670. It is one of the earliest known works of English Christian mysticism written by a woman, offering a thoughtful exploration of divine love, suffering, and spiritual renewal. Rooted in her visionary experience during a severe illness, Julian’s writing reflects a deep commitment to contemplative prayer and the longstanding traditions of medieval Christian devotion.

Her reflections emphasise the compassion, mercy, and steadfastness of God – key themes that continue to resonate with readers seeking spiritual grounding and devotional insight. Julian’s work has influenced centuries of Christian spiritual writing, especially within mystical theology, medieval spirituality, and devotional literature. Her famous assurance that “all shall be well” has become a touchstone for those drawn to teachings on inner peace, divine providence, and faith during hardship.

Today, Revelations of Divine Love is frequently explored by readers interested in historical Christian texts, quiet contemplation, and classic works of mysticism that still speak compellingly to modern spiritual seekers. This translation by Grace Warrack was first published in 1901.
