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. 606 $aSpiritual healing 606 $aHealing$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 606 $aMiracles 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSpiritual healing. 615 0$aHealing$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 615 0$aMiracles. 676 $a231.7/3 700 $aScott$b Robert A.$f1935-$0128614 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463120503321 996 $aMiracle cures$92466585 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01150nam0-22003371--450 001 990008298970403321 005 20230623135642.0 035 $a000829897 035 $aFED01000829897 035 $a(Aleph)000829897FED01 100 $a20060321d1963----km-y0itay50------ba 101 0 $adut 102 $aNL 105 $ay-------001yy 200 1 $aDe civielrechtelijke engu?
