11 x 17,5 cm / 206 pg DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES? Even if you are sceptical, it is impossible to remain indifferent to such a controversial issue. Can a scientific explanation be found for every unusual phenomenon? Can events attributed to ESP or psychic powers be classed as miracles? Do we have a psychological need to believe in miracles? Geoffrey Ashe examines the question from every angle. Starting with a definition of terms, he moves on to classify miraculous phenomena into different categories of quality and credibility. He also investigates the attitudes of major religions to the miraculous and its manifestations in both East and West: the ‘industry’ at Lourdes, the tulpa of Central Asia, the feats of the Hindu yogis, and much else. The author also describes in detail the widely-publicized experiment that he himself conducted to explain the image of Christ on the Turin Shroud - a breakthrough which has helped stimulate recent new interest in this extraordinary ‘miracle’. The result of Geoffrey Ashe’s research is a readable and fascinatin account that provides man answers – and poses some intriguing questions, too.
