Continuously popular since it first appeared in 1977, The
Incorruptibles remains the acknowledged classic on the bodies of
Saints that did not undergo decomposition after death, many
remaining fresh and flexible for years, or even centuries. After
explaining both natural and artificial mummification, the author
shows that the incorruption of the Saints bodies fits into neither
category but constitutes a much greater phenomenon which is
unexplained by modern science even to this day. The author presents
102 canonized Saints, Beati and Venerables, summarizing their
lives, the discovery of their incorruption and investigations by
Church and medical authorities.
The incorruptible bodies of saints are a consoling sign of
Christ s victory over death, a confirmation of the dogma of the
Resurrection of the Body, a sign that the Saints are still with us
in the Mystical Body of Christ, as well as a proof of the truth of
the Catholic Faith for only in the Catholic Church do we find this
phenomenon. Impr. 310 pgs 33 Illus, PB
