Presenting the 34 known and accredited apparitions of the Virgin Mary, this study offers intellectual clarity, precise scholarship, and overall rigor, qualities so often absent from Marian studies. Detailed evidence, supported by thorough theological and scientific investigation—including the circumstances of each apparition and it’s legacy—enlivens this entertaining and provocative resource and validates each event, while contextualizing its significance to civilizations past, present, and future. Also included are a chronology of the officially sanctioned apparitions; a 32-page color insert with photos of the art, sites, and visionaries associated with the appearances; and the exact text of the words spoken by the Virgin to the mystic or seer who bore witness.
