Ernie Hollands, a career criminal, said Christ appeared to him in
his cell in Millhaven Penitentiary. Maria Martinez saw Jesus at a
busy intersection in Miami, Florida. Rose Fairs was tying in bed
one morning when the Venetian blinds opened and the head of Jesus
materialized before her. Were these people only imagining a figure
that seemed life-like, or is there a chance that what they saw was,
in some way, real?
This first critical study of contemporary visions of Jesus
offers the intriguing accounts of thirty people, most of them
ordinary men and women without prior or subsequent experiences of
this kind, who remain mystified about their encounters. Wiebe
recounts each vision in vivid detail, exploring why these
individuals believe their visions were of Jesus, and why they
typically believe them to be objective happenings, rather than
hallucinations or dreams. He regards the occurrences from
perspectives as diverse as biblical scholarship and parapsychology,
concluding that they may well represent genuine religious
experiences of a mystical character. The fascinating nature of
these visions and Wiebe's thoughtfuL, evenhanded approach to each
report add up to a book that will be provocative reading for
skeptics and the faithful alike.
