Synopsis "The Physical Phenomena of Mysticism - With Especial Reference to the Stigmata, Divine and Diabolic"
An exploration of mysticism, with a particular focus on the appearance of bodily wounds that bear resemblance to Jesus Christ's crucifixion wounds, known as Stigmata. First published in 1947, The Physical Phenomena of Mysticism details the Christian mysticism of Stigmata. Those who lead a virtuous, Christian life may discover wounds in similar places to that of Jesus Christ's crucifixion wounds, for example, the hands and feet from the nails, the head from the crown of thorns, or the shoulders and back from the weight of carrying the cross. Montague Summers was an English clergyman, best known for his studies on vampires, witches, and werewolves. In this volume, he explores and analyses divine and diabolic phenomena.
