At the Foot of the Cross with Julian of Norwich
Emma Pennington
For those who might think Julian’s visions have little to do with scripture, this small, intense book offers some surprises. Pennington unpacks how Julian’s first, second, fourth, eighth, and ninth Showings reflect scripture, and how “Julian has folded time so that the Passion is a living reality to us.”
Through a detailed exploration of Julian’s use of language and images, which describe her visions of the cross, Pennington leads the reader to a place of encounter with Julian’s text to discover a place of prayer and contemplation.
Each chapter ends with a brief meditative reflection, questions to ponder, and a biblical quote.
