The Riddle of Konnersreuth is a book written by Paul Siwek which presents a detailed psychological and religious study of Theresa Neumann, a German Catholic mystic who lived from 1898 to 1962. Neumann is known for her stigmata, mystical visions, and alleged ability to communicate with the dead. The book explores Neumann's life, her experiences, and the impact of her spiritual beliefs on her psychological and physical health. Siwek examines the various theories and explanations that have been put forth to explain Neumann's abilities and experiences, including those that suggest she was a fraud or mentally ill. The book also delves into the broader cultural and historical context in which Neumann lived, including the rise of National Socialism in Germany and the influence of Catholicism on German society.
