Revelations of Divine Love


Lu par David Barnes

(4.9 stars; 76 reviews)

Julian of Norwich (c. November 8, 1342 – c. 1416) is considered to be one of the greatest English mystics. Little is known of her life aside from her writings. Even her name is uncertain, the name "Julian" coming from the Church of St Julian in Norwich, where she occupied a cell adjoining the church as an anchoress. At the age of thirty, suffering from a severe illness and believing she was on her deathbed, Julian had a series of intense visions. (They ended by the time she overcame her illness on May 13, 1373.) These visions would twenty years later be the source of her major work, called Sixteen Revelations of Divine Love (circa 1393). This is believed to be the first book written by a woman in the English language. Julian became well known throughout England as a spiritual authority. (Summary from Wikipedia) (7 hr 20 min)

Critiques

Lovely reading of of a classic of Christian spirituality


(5 stars)

Julian's profound insights into the ineffable reality of her mystical experience of the human within the divine and the divine within the human has made this work a classic of the Christian faith--this despite the the fact that a number of her ideas were considered controversial, even heretical, by her contemporaries, including her belief in the motherhood (as well as fatherhood) of God and Christ, and a God incapable of wrath. David Barnes sensitive and nuanced reading of the complete work greatly enhances our appreciation and understanding of this classic. I will definitely look for more of his narrations. Thank you so much, David--you have succeeded in making this sometimes difficult work quite accessible to the ordinary listener.


(5 stars)

The book is totally amazing. I have long since heard of Julian of Norwich, and intended to read her book, but never got round to it. I am so glad I found this. At first I was put off by the idea of a man reading, I felt a woman reading it would have been more appropriate. HOWEVER, I soon changed my mind. David's voice is so warm, calm, deep and somehow comforting, I felt it lent itself perfectly to the text. I have just finished it, and will promptly start again from the beginning. This should be on a list of must - read books!

There is profound comfort in this work. I have read it many times never tire of it. I was very happy to find this audio recording of it. The reading was excellent and will not disappoint you if you are also intrigued with Julian’s writings.

Masterful reading


(5 stars)

A deep text, rich in spiritual insights. David reads it in a measured and fully accessible way. A real treat.


(5 stars)

Mr Barnes’s interpretations (and selections) of texts are lovely. He is in my opinion one of Librivox’s best. Both the text and his reading of it are tremendously peaceful and calming: “All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.”

well read and important text for spiritual growth

my preferred translation


(5 stars)

helloo, oneing! the use of one as an adverb. why do we moderns taint the purity of one with makings that are actually joiny and unbecoming becomings. little do you know I don't actually know what an adverb is.

great reader

I think David Barnes is one of the best readers I have heard on here.
