Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“‘Your work is open’ writes Kirsten Pinto Gfroerer in one of the letters to Julian that form this astonishing work. And as the crucified Christ in Julian’s Revelations invites us into his wounds, so Julian’s text becomes a permeable site to which the reader is invited to be nourished and sustained in dark times. This is a brilliantly insightful theological reflection in which Julian’s rich writings are set against the author’s own experiences and often highly original reinterpretations.”

The Continuing Dialogue

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“What I value in The Continuing Dialogue is the way it not only draws us into a truly sacred conversation with the great signs of John’s gospel, but with visual interpretations which do not so much explain but take us deeper into the mystery of those encounters. Brian Bishop argues that, paradoxically, a painting is more—not less—apophatic than words, and claims less adequacy to that which it represents. Rich and nuanced, this book argues for a truly participatory interpretation of word and image.”
