On Deification and Sacred Eloquence (eBook, ePUB)

Richard Rolle and Julian of Norwich

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book considers the place of deification in the writings of Julian of Norwich and Richard Rolle, two of the fourteenth-century English Mystics. It argues that, as a consequence of a belief in deification, both produce writing that is helpfully viewed as sacred eloquence.
