A cardiologist visits Jesus

Did someone really subject Jesus of Nazareth to a clinical check-up? In recent years, five Eucharistic miracles have been the subject of sophisticated scientific investigations. The most advanced technologies, precisely those we see used in forensic medical dramas, have been applied, as if at a crime scene, to consecrated hosts that apparently bled. What emerges from the clinical analyses, laboratory tests, and histological and genetic examinations of these inexplicable and mysterious tissues? A physician, Franco Serafini, guides us and reveals, event after event, a pattern that recurs with reassuring or unsettling regularity. For the first time in the history of Christianity, can Eucharistic miracles speak in the antiseptic yet authoritative language of science? And what do they say to modern people? We will see human tissues described as incredibly still alive at the time of sampling: myocardium and dying blood for which a precise diagnosis can be formulated. We will see the same blood type reappear, forming an embarrassing and increasingly impregnable statistical fortress. We will analyze the bizarre, elusive, yet also rational behavior of the world's most sought-after DNA. Edizioni Studio Domenicano
