The Stigmata: A history of various cases.

Few phenomena have stirred more awe and fear in religious history than the stigmata—the mysterious wounds mirroring the crucifixion of Christ, appearing unbidden on the bodies of saints, visionaries, and penitents. In The Stigmata: A History of Various Cases, Rev. H. Austin gathers a chilling record of these occurrences, examining their origins, testimonies, and spiritual significance.

From medieval mystics to modern sufferers, the cases reveal a haunting blend of the miraculous and the terrifying. Were these marks divine signs of holiness, or torments inflicted by unseen forces? Each account blurs the line between sanctity and suffering, faith and fanaticism.

Part historical survey, part theological inquiry, this work presents the stigmata not as mere legend, but as a physical and spiritual mystery that has shaped centuries of belief.
