Winner of the ACE / Mercers' Book Award 2014 Spectacular Miracles confronts an enduring Western belief in the supernatural power of images: that a statue or painting of the Madonna can fly through the air, speak, weep, or produce miraculous cures. Although contrary to widely held assumptions, the cults of particular paintings and statues held to be miraculous have persisted beyond the middle ages into the present, even in a modern European city such as Genoa, the primary focus of this book. Drawing upon rich documentation from northwest Italy and elsewhere, Spectacular Miracles shows how these images “work” in a range of historical contexts. Jane Garnett and Gervase Rosser vividly evoke ritual animation of the image and the phenomenology of the beholder’s experience. These images, they demonstrate, have the subversive potential of the miraculous image to bypass clerical and secular authority, a power enhanced by reproducibility—devotion is hard to control when a copy of a venerated image is held to carry the same supernatural potential as the original, even when in a digital form mediated by the Internet. Engaging with the history, anthropology, and visual culture of images and religion, Spectacular Miracles is a convincing study of the continuing power of faith and art.
Amazing Miracles Of The Bible

Download and read online ebook Amazing Miracles Of The Bible write by Dr. Ashwin Drummond. This book was released on 2022-10-29. Amazing Miracles Of The Bible available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. In this book, the miracles narrated in the Bible have been captured and explained. The man who therefore works miracles gives clear proof that it comes from the authority of God. The miracle worker, by the power of God, makes the impossible possible. At the end of the day, good will always prevail against evil. When the human mind fails to fathom, when logic gets embarrassed, when science is at a loss for words, and when the foundations of all knowledge crumble down, then we call such a phenomenon miracle. The dictionary defines it as something extraordinary or surprising. This supernatural power is none other than the Creator God Himself. The New and Old Testaments of the Bible has more than a hundred recorded miracles. When Jesus walked on the water, He defied the law of gravity. He was there at the time of the creation of this planet. Thus, as a creator God, He has the power to create, uncreated, super create and destroy. He, therefore, has the power to override the fundamental laws as understood by man. It is for this reason he could perform umpteen miracles when He was on this earth. There are thirty-seven recorded miracles of Jesus apart from hundreds of them not recorded. In addition to the miracles of Jesus Christ, there are many miracles performed through the disciples, apostles, and prophets of God. All these miracles point to a single fact, that, for God nothing is impossible.
