  • Title : God's Kinde Love
  • Endorsement : “Among the many books on Julian of Norwich issued in recent decades, God’s Kinde Love stands out for its comprehensive character and penetrating theological insight. Julian’s view of grace as “the joyful raising of our humanity” provides a new paradigm that enriches our picture of Julian as no other recent work has done.”, By focusing on the connection between love and grace, this careful study reveals unexpected facets of Julian of Norwich’s remarkable theology. Even as it qualifies the claims for Julian’s universalism, God’s Kind Love eautifully elaborates Julian’s theocentric message, that loving kindness not only binds humanity to God but also humans to one another.
