Content
In this revised edition of the bestselling 2006 Lent book, The Road to Emmaus, popular author Sister Helen Julian CSF offers insights into the lives of six figures in English spirituality, looking at their historical context and the themes unique to their writing.
The book covers Julian of Norwich, John Donne, Aelred of Rievaulx, The Venerable Bede, Thomas Traherne, John and Charles Wesley and The anonymous author of The Cloud of Unknowing.
Through the intervening centuries, their words still speak to us, illuminating truths, enriching our faith and affirming us in our own walk with God. With links to relevant Bible passages, Helen Julian suggests imaginative exercises for groups and individuals to put into practice what has been learned.
Described by The Church Times as 'an exercise in delight and sensitivity'
The Road to Emmaus is suitable for people looking for an accessible way into understanding more about some key historical Christian figures, and is ideal group discussion material. It could also be used as retreat reading and is recommended for church history courses.

An exercise in delight and sensitivity... we are taken on a journey in which Jesus seems to unfold to us the story of himself, not only in the scriptures, but in our own history, too.
