In the face of this heritage, questions have risen from contemporary experience that challenge the Christian tradition. Does life have meaning? Is love at the core of all reality? In \u003ci\u003eGifted Origins to Graced Fulfillment, \u003c\/i\u003eKerrie Hide searches for responses to these questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHide examines the soteriology presented in the Revelations of Divine Love, composed by Julian of Norwich. She analyzes the understanding of salvation expressed in the Visions, or showings of Julian and expands previous theological inquiry into Julian's texts. After demonstrating how Julian's theology is a trinitarian theology of love, Hide addresses each aspect of Julian's soteriology within the framework of her trinitarian formula. The theological precis reveals that, for Julian, salvation is a process of oneing in a mystical, three-part journey from our origins with God to our ultimate return to God.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHide's analysis provides a hermeneutic for examining mystical literature theologically and demonstrates the important contribution mystical theology makes to the broader field of theology. She contributes a systematic study of Julian's understanding of salvation not undertaken previously.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Part One, Hide examines Julian's Visionary experience and her expression of the experience that led others to reflect on, record, and write about her texts. She also presents a hermeneutic for interpreting Julian's showings. Part Two presents Julian's soteriology as a trinitarian soteriology of \u003ci\u003eoneing\u003c\/i\u003e and explores how our life is in three stages. In Part Three, Hide delves into our gifted origins. She surveys Julian's creation theology and her anthropology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart Four focuses on Christology. This section presents Christ's role in redemption through the cross, through his work as servant, and through his function as mother. Part Five inquires into graced endings. The chapters examine the present experience of graced fulfillment in the power of the Holy Spirit and the hope for fulfillment in the eschaton. Finally, in Part Six, Hide draws together Julian's understanding of salvation. She appraises the relevance of these teachings for today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapters are Julian of Norwich,\" *A Hermeneutic for Interpreting the \u003ci\u003eShowings, - *Oneing\u003c\/i\u003e Through the Trinity, - *\u003ci\u003eOneing \u003c\/i\u003ein Being, - \u003ci\u003e *Oneing \u003c\/i\u003eThrough the Crucifixion, - \u003ci\u003e *Oneing\u003c\/i\u003e Through the Servant, - \u003ci\u003e *Oneing\u003c\/i\u003e Through Christ, Deep Wisdom and Mother, - \u003ci\u003e *Oneing\u003c\/i\u003e Through the Holy Spirit, - \u003ci\u003e *One in\u003c\/i\u003eg in the Eschaton, - and *Julian's Spiritual Understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kerrie Hide\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814650937\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814650936\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liturgical Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.01h x 6.03w x 0.63d","brand":"Kerrie Hide","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996150628607,"sku":"9780814650936","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_064571b5-57a3-456b-9b04-69068579be3f.jpg?v=1683340015","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gifted-origins-of-graced-fulfillment-kerrie-hide-9780814650936","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
