OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Union with Christ in Walter Hilton’s and Julian of Norwich’s writings
Through the revelation of Christ as both Son of God and Son of Man, we are invited to enjoy the fullest consummation of the reality of our being: partaking in the triune life of God. This mystical union, the experience of the Godhead through the spiritual senses, is only possible by means of Christ. Walter Hilton and Julian of Norwich, both fourteenth-century mystics in England, understood being in Christ as an ontological union, thus interpreting the image of God in humanity as the ground for the prelapsarian union that binds Creator to creature. Hilton and Julian’s writings identified the outcomes of such a union with the Incarnate One as metaphysical, sacramental, and ecclesiological. In this way, they emphasized the participatory nature of union with Christ, and encouraged their readers − from the late fourteenth century to the present day − to invest their spiritual life with new meaning.
