ABSTRACT

Chapter 6 considers whether Julian’s Revelations also operate as deified sacred eloquence. This chapter makes particular use of Martin Laird’s typological of ‘logophasis’. The chapter argues that there is a dimension to Julian literary voice in her Revelations that springs from her belief that she is in Christ. It is the contention of this book that Julian use of images reinforce this status, thereby lending her Revelations a quality which exceeds the narrow confines of a kataphatic-apophatic dialectic and justifies a description of her Revelations as sacred eloquence.
