God's Wounds: The Remarkable Truth of Those Who Bore the Signs of Christ's Passion

Throughout the rich and sometimes strange history of supernatural events in the Catholic Church, the stigmata—mysterious wounds resembling those of Christ—stand out as one of the most remarkable. These signs have inspired both deep devotion and intense debate for centuries. Are they authentic or fabricated? What evidence supports them? And if real, why would God allow such a phenomenon?

In God’s Wounds, author John Clark offers a balanced, thorough exploration of the stigmata, approaching the topic with both faith and critical thinking. He considers well-known stigmatics like St. Francis and Padre Pio, as well as lesser-known figures, examining their experiences through medical, historical, and theological lenses.

This book is a valuable resource on multiple levels: it presents a detailed history of the stigmata, provides a reasoned defense of the miraculous, and serves as a powerful reflection on Christ’s Passion—deepening the reader’s spiritual understanding and devotion.
