God's Lovers in an Age of Anxiety

Traditions of Christian Spirituality

by Joan M. Nuth

This book examines the extraordinary flowering of the English spirituality in the fourteenth and early fifiteen centuries, and shows its continuing power to nourish contempory life and prayer.Though each the writers discussed in this book each has a unique voice they share a common experience of living in an age of fear, violence and disintegration, and their work has a strange resonance for us.

I read this book, or most of it, in college. This time I reread the introduction and the chapters on Julian and Margery, in order to prepare to read Victoria Mackenzie’s new novel _for thy great pain have mercy on my little pain_, which is about these interesting women.

The book is a very clear and succinct introduction!
