Free Download Helen Hills, "The matter of miracles: Neapolitan baroque architecture and sanctity "
English | ISBN: 0719084741 | 2016 | 656 pages | PDF | 24 MB
This book investigates baroque architecture through the lens of San Gennaro’s miraculously liquefying blood in Naples. This vantage point allows a bracing and thoroughly original rethink of the power of baroque relics and reliquaries. It shows how a focus on miracles produces original interpretations of architecture, sanctity and place which will engage architectural historians everywhere. The matter of the baroque miracle extends into a rigorous engagement with natural history, telluric philosophy, new materialism, theory and philosophy. The study will transform our understanding of baroque art and architecture, sanctity and Naples. Bristling with new archival materials and historical insights, this study lifts the baroque from its previous marginalisation to engage fiercely with materiality and potentiality and thus unleash baroque art and architecture as productive and transformational.

Free Download Terry L. Miethe, "Shepherd’s Notes: C.S. Lewis’ Miracles (Shepherd’s Notes. Christian Classics)"
English | 2000 | ISBN: 0805493948 | EPUB | pages: 112 | 0.5 mb
Shepherd’s Notes- Christian Classics Series is designed to give readers a quick, step by step overview of some of the enduring treasures of the Christian faith. They are designed to be used along side the classic itself- either in individual study or in a study group. The faithful of all generations have found spiritual nourishment in the Scriptures and in the works of Christians of earlier generations. Martin Luther and John Calvin would not have become who they were apart from their reading Augustine. God used the writings of Martin Luther to move John Wesley from a religion of dead works to an experience at Aldersgate in which his "heart was strangely warmed." Shepherd’s Notes will give pastors, laypersons, and students access to some of the treasures of Christian faith.

Free Download The Invention of Miracles: Language, Power, and Alexander Graham Bell’s Quest to End Deafness (Audiobook)
English | April 06, 2021 | ASIN: B08ML4TT34 | MP3@64 kbps | 12h 8m | 330.46 MB
Author: Katie Booth
Narrator: Samantha Desz
An astonishingly revisionist biography of Alexander Graham Bell, telling the true – and troubling – story of the inventor of the telephone. We think of Alexander Graham Bell as the inventor of the telephone, but that’s not how he saw his own career. Bell was an elocution teacher by profession. As the son of a deaf woman and, later, husband to another, his goal in life from adolescence was to teach the deaf to speak. Even his tinkering sprang from his teaching work; the telephone had its origins as a speech-reading machine. And yet by the end of his life, despite his best efforts – or perhaps, more accurately, because of them – Bell had become the American Deaf community’s most powerful enemy.

Free Download B. W. Reynolds, "Gregory of Tours: The Book of the Miracles of the Blessed Andrew the Apostle "
English | ISBN: 904294966X | 2022 | 132 pages | PDF | 5 MB
The Book of the Miracles of the Blessed Andrew the Apostle (Liber de miraculis beati Andreae apostoli), long regarded as a sixth-century reworking of an earlier apocryphal work by an anonymous author, has often been ignored or used by scholars as a vehicle for recovering an earlier, now lost, work, The Acts of Andrew. Yet in recent years there has emerged a growing consensus that The Book of the Miracles of the Blessed Andrew the Apostle (hereafter noted as the MA) was authored by Gregory of Tours (538-594), the preeminent historical source for the sixth-century West. While Gregory and his hagiographical works have been studied with increasing vigor by scholars, the MA has only recently figured into that effort and, consequently, has not yet been fully translated into English. This volume attempts to fill this void by offering the first full English translation of the MA, alongside Max Bonnet’s Latin edition, and by setting the work in its rightful place in Gregory’s canon. With an introduction, glossary, notes, and a map of places mentioned in the text, this volume provides an accessible entry point to both the study of the legacy of the apostles as well as Gregory of Tours’s interpretation of it. The MA is valuable for the study of early Christianity, late antiquity, and religious culture in the Merovingian Kingdom of the Franks.

Free Download The Electric Corset and Other Victorian Miracles: Medical Devices and Treatments from the Golden Age of Quackery by Jeremy Agnew
English | November 3rd, 2021 | ISBN: 1476683832 | 287 pages | True EPUB | 10.55 MB
Through the Victorian and Edwardian eras, various health movements emerged in the transition to the modern age of scientific medicine. Strange medical devices and quack cures were pushed, often using crude remedies based on simplistic beliefs and the placebo effect. Currently, some of these treatments appear absurd, even cruel. Because some were properly used as appropriate therapies, it is difficult to label them altogether as bogus.
