James Ramsay describes illness, hallucination, vision, and spiritual perception through his own experience of severe bodily trauma and recovery after near-death. Relating his own experiences to those of Julian of Norwich and St John of the Cross, he explores the fragile boundary between hallucination and revelation, asking how moments of extreme weakness and altered consciousness may disclose dimensions of reality usually hidden beneath ordinary awareness. Moving between theology, psychology, literature, and personal recollection, Ramsay examines suffering, embodiment, transcendence, and the relationship between physical existence and spiritual understanding. Throughout, he resists simplistic divisions between material and spiritual life, insisting instead on the deep unity of body, imagination, memory, and grace. Rich in imagery and contemplative insight, Ramsay meditates on sentience, perception, love, and the mysterious ways in which healing and meaning emerge through vulnerability and human limitation.

� propos de l'auteur

James Ramsay is an Anglican priest who, following his retirement from full-time ministry, now lives and writes in north Norfolk. His work explores the intersections of faith, literature, and lived experience, with particular interests in prayer, scripture, mortality, and the Christian spiritual tradition. Among his publications are Monuments to a Stolen Revolution, and Other Poems from Bucharest (2014), which drew on his experiences in Romania, and The Way and the Truth and the Life (SLG Press, 2024), a meditation on the Gospel according to John. A thoughtful essayist as well as a poet, he writes on subjects ranging from death and dying to prayer, evil, and the life of faith, drawing on scripture, literature, and the wider Christian tradition. Through both verse and prose, Ramsay offers a theologically subtle and linguistically rich exploration of the search for the sacred.
