INGO SWANN
An Examination of the Twenty-Two Supranormal Appearances
A respected scientific investigator writes an objective in-depth account
of the most outstanding and momentous Marian appearances.
The Great apparitions -- starting with Guadalupe in 1531 -- occur with a
steady and increasing drumbeat across the decades and centuries. The places
and the principals involved change, but the messages calling people to turn
from lives of violence and sin and to seek repentance are remarkably similar.
By focusing on the most widely known and documented appearances and presenting
them in chronological order, the events and the messages emerge in a powerful
way.
Swann shows how advances in science have placed the apparitions in a more
intriguing light. One of the historic challenges concerning them was how
could something which was not there be there in a way that registered on
the eye mechanisms. The discovery of holography, where images that appear
to be three-dimensional having bulk, shape and mass, images that can even
be photographed, has provided an analogy that enlarges our perception of
the physical laws and challenges the skeptics' verdict of hallucination.
Catholic or not, religious or not, believer or not, this fascinating and
compelling account of the appearances of Mary challenges readers to reflect
on the messages and their possible consequences for our civilization and
for our future.
