Stigmata: A Medieval Phenomenon In A Modern Age

The Story

This spiritually probing and inspirational book examines the controversies that surround stigmata, the name given to the phenomenon in which ordinary people have suffered spontaneous lesions on their hands and feet resembling the marks of Christ's crucifixion. Stigmata, by the noted religious writer Ted Harrison, describes the intriguing history of stigmatists throughout the last eight hundred years, a history that begins in 1224 with St. Francis of Assisi, who was modern history's first stigmatist.
