I must preface my review by saying that I am an atheist, so I am in no way the target audience for this text; I picked this up purely because I have a fascination in the lives and experiences of medieval female mystics, and wanted to learn more. Julian’s theology is genuinely interesting, and I can tell that she truly loved God and that this love brought her happiness. I respect that greatly, and I am sure that a theistic reader would take a lot from this text. For me as an atheist, this did not have much to offer me, spare a few passages. Excluding my personal takeaways from this, the text itself is insightful and of high quality, and I would love to read more on Julian’s life.
