From early childhood she was blessed with the gift of spiritual sight and lived almost constantly in inner vision of scenes of the Old and New Testaments. Later her visions became concerned primarily with the life of Jesus Christ although they encompassed also the lives of many saints and other personages (some unknown to history) as well as far-reaching insights into many other mysteries. In 2004 she was beatified by Pope John Paul II.This series supplements an earlier Angelico publication: The Visions of Anne Catherine Emmerich Books I-III. In 2009 the original notes of Anne Catherines visions (in 38 notebooks) became for the first time available for reference and the present series incorporates much new material translated therefrom. With regard to both individuals and themes every reference thus far located in the notes and in prior translations have been woven together so the reader can find in one place almost all of what Anne Catherine had to say on each topic.As regards the series as a whole virtually every individual in the biblical visions (approximately 250 in total) is referenced in the five People of the New Testament volumes. The Life of the Virgin Mary is dedicated to Mary (and her Essene ancestry) and Scenes from the Lives of the Saints treats of fifty-nine saints. The present volume forms a set with Mysteries of the Old Testament and two further volumes cover a multitude of separate themes: Inner Life and Worlds of Soul & Spirit and Spiritual Works and Journeys. The final volume is The Life of Anne Catherine Emmerich.
