Healing to All Their Flesh asks us to step back and carefully rethink the relationship between religion and health. It does so by examining overlooked issues of theology and meaning that lie at the foundation of religion's supposed beneficial function. Is a religion-health relationship consistent with understandings of faith within respective traditions? What does this actually imply? What does it not imply? How have these ideas been distorted? Why does this matter-for medicine and healthcare and also for the practice of faith? Is the ultimate relation between spirit and flesh, as

Theophrast von Hohenheim (Paracelsus) gehörte zwar zu den herausragenden Ärzten seiner Zeit, war aber zugleich heftig umkämpft, wie die Entwicklung der Medizingeschichte des 16. Jahrhunderts überhaupt vor Augen führt, als viele verschiedene wissenschaftliche Methoden und Denkweisen zum Einsatz gelangten. Viele Ärzte genossen hohes Ansehen, aber der Berufsstand erwies sich zugleich als relativ leichte Zielscheibe für Spott und bittere Satire. Paracelsus geriet also schnell ins Zentrum von heftigsten intellektuellen, wissenschaftlichen und medizinischen Auseinandersetzungen zur Frage nach der Rolle der Medizin, wie das menschliche Leben verlängert werden kann, wie Wahnsinn und Mystik zu beurteilen wären u. dgl. mehr. Die Autoren dieses Sammelbandes bieten Einsichten in die frühneuzeitliche Mentalitätsgeschichte bezogen auf Krankheits- und Todesvorstellungen, zur Magie (in) der Natur, identifizieren Paracelsus's Vorstellungen von den Korrelationen zwischen Sünde und Gesundheit, kontrastieren ihn mit anderen Ärzten seiner Zeit (Auerbach) und entwickeln somit sehr innovative interdisziplinäre und komparatistische Perspektiven.

Iconic 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.
