Full Description
Anne Catherine Emmerich (1774–1824) lived in near-continuous vision of Scripture, culminating—after receiving the stigmata in 1812—in daily accounts of Jesus’s life dictated to poet Clemens Brentano. Newly accessible since the 2009 publication of Brentano’s 38 notebooks, this edition draws deeply on those sources to offer an unparalleled, vividly detailed narrative: places Jesus visited, teachings, miracles, companions, and a chronology (day-by-day across the ministry; near hour-by-hour for the Passion). It features 40+ maps tracing Jesus’s journeys, five appendices on the dating method, and all 350 of J. James Tissot's paintings inspired by Emmerich’s visions, with additional illustrations. Long credited with transforming readers, these visions helped lead to Emmerich’s beatification in 2004.
