In the course of Christian history over 300 people have been mysteriously marked with the wounds of Christ's crucifixion. They have had nail prints in their hands and feet and some have reported wounds in the side or the scars of a crown of thorns. The first known case is that of St Francis of Assisi in the 13th century. Since that time the phenomenon has been reported throughout Europe, particularly in Italy, France and Germany. Often the stigmata are said to be accompanied by other strange events. Stigmatics were said to see the future, to be able to levitate, to heal the sick and to remain uncorrupt in body after death. The book includes detailed examinations of the dozen or so well-documented cases from the last 100 years and five modern cases of stigmata. Ted Harrison is the author of "Elvis People: The Cult of the King".

Stigmata: A Modern Medieval Mystery

HarperCollins Publishers,Inc.

A ten-year-old black girl in California bled from her palms, feet, right side, and the middle of her forehead for nineteen days in 1972, until good Friday, when the bleeding stopped. A Washington, D.C., priest experienced spontaneous bleeding from his writsts, feet, and right side in 1991. Since St. Francis of Assisi in the thirteenth century, ordinary people have suffered spontaneous lesions and bleeding resembling the wounds received by Christ during the crucifixion. Until recently, the occurrences of this religious and medical phenomenon had been limited to European cultures, but more and more cases of stigmata are being reported in Latin America and the United States. Including a startling analysis of the socioeconomic conditions that might give rise to the emergence of stigmatics at the end of another millennium and interviews with a medical expert on stigmata, this intriguing and objective examination is one of the most controversial books about religious phenomena since Embraced by the Light.

In April 2014, Pope Francis will canonise two of his most influential predecessors, John Paul II and John XXIII. It is seen as a move towards uniting reformers and conservatives within the Catholic Church and – alongside Francis’s own radical reforms – marks the continuing move towards new hope and celebration within the Church. Tales of Three Popes is a beautiful testament to the lives of all three much-loved leaders. Cased and illustrated with delightful hand-drawn illustrations, it contains over 40 vignettes relating notable stories from the lives of all three men. Stories which demonstrate their faith, humility, wisdom and character. Accounts of the miracles ascribed to John Paul II and John XXIII are included.

Stigmata: A Medieval Phenomenon in a Modern Age

St Martins Pr

Diana, the unremarkable teenage daughter of a British aristocratic family with no special claims to intelligence or talent, came to haunt the imagination and memories of millions of people around the world and has carved herself a unique place in history. Her private life became the object of intense scrutiny by the press and public around the world, and her tragic death was considered by many to be surrounded by unusual or suspicious circumstances. The Diana we knew has now become enveloped by myths and legends, and in exploring this phenomenon Ted Harrison uncovers some revealing truth and investigates why the life and spirit of Diana continues to resonate so strongly with us even years after her death. Touching everything from her marriage to Charles in 1981 to the fateful night of August 31st, 1997, this beautifully written book shines a new light on a woman who is still an important figure in many lives.
