Description

This book explores the medieval concept and experience of pain and suffering, from the Venerable Bede to Julian of Norwich. Theologically it was both problematic and paradoxical.

It raised all sorts of questions about the problem of evil.

As natural evil, pain was something to be avoided and yet was embraced with "sweet joy" as playing an essential role in the imitation of Christ (imitatio Christi).

An analysis of key parts of Julian's "Showings of Divine Love" shows how, why and in what ways her understanding of pain is of direct relevance today and is still valuable in deepening Christian discipleship.
