The Faith of the Millions (2nd series)

The collection brings together essays that explore the life and work of a 14th‑century anchoress from Norwich, whose visionary writings were once celebrated but later fell into obscurity. It examines how her language, once common to both orthodox and dissenting circles, became entangled with later controversies.

The author guides listeners through the delicate balance between faithful devotion and the subtle shifts that can turn pious phrasing into heretical meaning. By contextualizing her revelations against the backdrop of medieval theological debates, the essays invite reflection on how ideas travel across centuries, offering both historical insight and timeless questions about faith.

Readers will hear the author's careful analysis of the ways in which medieval mystics navigated doubt, compassion, and the shepherding of souls, echoing the biblical image of scattered sheep yearning for guidance. The essays balance scholarly rigor with accessible narration, making the complex theological landscape approachable for anyone curious about the roots of modern faith challenges.
