The Visions of Therese Neumann

Klappentext

The Visions of Therese Neumann is a book written by Johannes Steiner that explores the life and experiences of Therese Neumann. Neumann was a German mystic who claimed to have received visions and messages from Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary. She also experienced stigmata, or the wounds of Christ, on her hands, feet, and forehead. Throughout the book, Steiner delves into Neumann's life, including her childhood, her religious upbringing, and her experiences with her visions and stigmata. He also examines the reactions of the Catholic Church and the medical community to Neumann's claims, as well as the impact that her experiences had on her followers and on the wider religious community.Steiner's writing is engaging and informative, providing readers with a detailed and nuanced understanding of Neumann's life and experiences. The book is a fascinating exploration of mysticism, faith, and the intersection of religion and science. It is sure to be of interest to anyone interested in spirituality, religious experiences, and the history of mysticism in the Catholic Church.This book reveals Therese�������s visions and stigmata along with some biographical data and explanations. This work is a studied apology for the mystical phenomena which occurred in the life of Therese. The author shows that mystical experiences, while outside the realm of usual rational expectations, are well within the realm of God�������s way. He views Therese�������s experience as a divine mission, given to her by God as a first line of defense against modern, exaggerated rationalism, which does away with religion and forces us to sheer materialism. The author, Johannes Steiner, was introduced to Therese Neumann in 1929 and has maintained unbroken and close contact with Konnersreuth ever since. After the war it was possible for him to even intensify his connections since his professional needs, as one of Europe�������s foremost publishers, brought him into the neighborhood of Konnersreuth several times a year and frequently for rather extensive visits. Thus he had an opportunity to speak with Therese Neumann herself and to acquire first-hand information to correct or round out the work of her first biographer, Dr. Fritz Gerlich. He is probably the best living expert on the subject of Therese Neumann.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
