The Life of Jesus Christ and Biblical Revelations is one of the most extraordinary books ever to be published. These four volumes record the visions of the famous 19th-century Catholic mystic, Ven. Anne Catherine Emmerich, a nun who was privileged to behold innumerable events of biblical times, going back all the way to the creation of the world. She witnessed the fall of the Angels, the sin of Adam, Noe and the Flood, the building of the Tower of Babel, the Old Testament Patriarchs, the life and beheading of St. John the Baptist, the life of St. Anne, St. Joseph, the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Mary Magdalen - and of course the birth, life, public ministry, Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, as well as the founding of His Church. And besides describing persons, places, events and traditions in intimate detail, Anne Catherine Emmerich also sets forth the mystical significance of these visible realities, for their hidden spiritual meanings were to her an open book.
A work that for over a century has made converts, caused vocations to the religious life, and inspired thousands of people to a profounder love of their Faith, The Life of Jesus Christ and Biblical Revelations is only now beginning to receive the circulation that it so richly deserves. St. John the Apostle declares at the end of his Gospel that if all the deeds of Jesus Christ were recorded, he thinks the world itself would not be able to hold the books that would have to be written. (John 21:25). Through the remarkable visions which God granted to Anne Catherine Emmerich, people of today are allowed to witness some of these profound and stirring events. These revelations constitute one of the greatest treasures of Catholic mystical writing. One is even forced to conclude that they are a special gift of Divine Providence-an extraordinary favor granted by God to this confused and unbelieving age.
