Das hier vorliegende Werk \"Athanasius\" aus der Feder des bekannten Schriftsteller, Autors und katholischen Publizisten Joseph Gorres, ist eine eine heftige Kampfschrift gegen den preussischen Staat. Der Autor verfasste diese Schrift nach der Gefangennahme des Erzbischofs von Koln und dem Kolner Kirchenstreit. Joseph Gorres (1776 - 1848) war ein grosser Anhanger der franzosischen Revolution und begeistert von der demokratischen Bewegung. Er war gut bekannt mit den Schriftstellern Clemens Brentano und Achim von Arni

The stigmata is the supernatural recreation of the wounds of Christ in Christians. The German spiritual writer Joseph Görres wrote this fantastic book on the subject which is simultaneously a history of the stigmata, a highly developed theory on how the stigmata comes about, and an eyewitness account of the author who saw for himself mystics who had the stigmata. This is a compelling and fascinating explanation of this famous hallmark of Christian mysticism.
