Julian of Norwich and the Kingdom of God

£40.00

ByAbigail Penfold

Julian of Norwich – one of the Middle English Mystics – is appreciated by many who perceive that her writings contain helpful teaching on spirituality. However, this fourteenth-century woman was not only a contemplative, but also an anchoress, bound to the institutional Church of the medieval era and its teaching. This book extends what is already known of Julian’s biblical knowledge, including biblical interpretation, and explores her texts through a biblically inspired theme – the kingdom of God.

A Modern Economic History of Japan: Sho Ga Nai – It Is What It Is

The modern economic history of Japan is an extraordinary tale. The country rose over the course of just a hundred and twenty odd years from outright backwardness to the elite tier of the most advanced economies.

This book – written in an accessible style by the author of the highly successful The Tyranny of Nostalgia – tells that story.
