Framing, Confessing, Self-Efficacy, and Healing --Coda --Appendix: Accounts of Miracles at Medieval Shrines --Notes --Bibliography --IndexIconic images of medieval pilgrims, such as Chaucer's making their laborious way to Canterbury, conjure a distant time when faith was the only refuge of the ill and infirm, and thousands traveled great distances to pray for healing. Why, then, in an age of advanced biotechnology and medicine, do millions still go on pilgrimages? Why do journeys to important religious shrines-such as Lourdes, Compostela, Fátima, and Medjugorje-constitute a major industry? In Miracle Cures, Robert A. Scott explores these provocative questions and finds that pilgrimage continues to offer answers for many. Its benefits can range from a demonstrable improvement in health to complete recovery. Using research in biomedical and behavioral science, Scott examines accounts of miracle cures at medieval, early modern, and contemporary shrines. He inquires into the power of relics, apparitions, and the transformative nature of sacred journeying and shines new light on the roles belief, hope, and emotion can play in healing.Spiritual healingHealingReligious aspectsChristianityMiraclesElectronic books.Spiritual healing.HealingReligious aspectsChristianity.Miracles.231.7/3Scott Robert A.1935-128614MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463120503321Miracle cures2466585UNINA01630nam0 22003613i 450 VAN024364620231212025119.885N978303034875520220323d2020 |0itac50 baengCH|||| |||||Atomic SwitchFrom Invention to Practical Use and Future Prospectseditor Masakazu AonoChamSpringer2020XI, 266 p.ill.24 cm001VAN01239422001 Advances in Atom and Single Molecule Machines210 ChamSpringer2012-CHChamVANL001889546.3Metalli, composti metallici, leghe22540Chimica generale22620.5Nanotecnologia22621.39Microingegneria22541.37Elettrochimica e magnetochimica22AonoMasakazuVANV199054Springer <editore>VANV108073650ITSOL20240614RICA/sebina/repository/catalogazione/documenti/379.pdf379.pdfhttps://rd.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-34875-5E-book - Accesso al full-text attraverso riconoscimento IP di Ateneo, proxy e/o ShibbolethBIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI SCIENZE E TECNOLOGIE AMBIENTALI BIOLOGICHE E FARMACEUTICHEIT-CE0101VAN17NVAN0243646BIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI SCIENZE E TECNOLOGIE AMBIENTALI BIOLOGICHE E FARMACEUTICHE17CONS e-book 2221 17BIB2221/62 62 20220323 Atomic Switch2089765UNICAMPANIA
