The Historical Truth of the Gospels and the Writings of Maria Valtorta – Italian

The topic of this book is the dating and attribution of the canonical Gospels, whose historicity, which implies the historical truth of the events narrated, was openly questioned in the 19th century. In particular, it was questioned whether they were written by eyewitnesses to the events narrated and whether they dated to the first decades after the crucifixion of Jesus, despite the many historical documents discovered, including very ancient papyrus fragments that may date back to shortly after the Council of Jerusalem in the year 49. Maria Valtorta’s writings can assist us in this exegetical endeavor. And beyond the wealth of historical information, reading her pages truly “raises the mind to God, nourishes the soul, and fosters the interior life.”
