The reader will be appraised of how God has been speaking to His people through public and private revelation for over 2000 years. A special chapter in this work deals with some saints and holy people who have had private revelations about or visits from souls in purgatory, hell or heaven. Another chapter and several of the appendixes are devoted to Marian Apparitions to include those that are approved, not approved and those appending a decision by the Church. By far one of the greatest strengths of this undertaking is the identification of some 43 categories of concomitant extraordinary phenomena and some of the saints and holy people who have experienced them. Color paintings by artists are depicted of some saints experiencing such mystical phenomena. Another unique feature of the book is a listing of some 600 individuals from the 13th to the 21st centuries who bore the stigmata. By knowing that God is present and alive to His people this book may help bring others to a deeper faith in God.

Use the tools of reason, the power of the mind to think, understand, and form judgments by logic, to construct an argument for the Christian faith. Paul reasoned from the Scriptures; he proved, explained, and persuaded. Samuel L. Phillips maintains that we can establish many of the essential truths of Christianity from facts most people believe. In DEFENDING THE CHRISTIAN FAITH, he creates common ground with unbelievers, showing that they already believe in fundamental truths that lead to Christianity.

Miracles give hope to the hopeless and exemplify the intersection of the divine and the mundane. They have shaped world history and continue to influence us through their presence in films, television, novels, and popular culture. This encyclopedia provides a unique resource on the philosophical, historical, religious, and cross-cultural conceptions of miracles that cut across denominational lines. Multidisciplinary in approach, this informative yet entertaining encyclopedia covers major aspects of miraculous phenomena through more than 150 alphabetically arranged entries that document how humanity's belief in religious miracles over multiple places, periods, and faiths have affected society—even changed the course of history. Written for high school students and general readers, the coverage enables readers to learn about different civilizations and cultures, the controversies surrounding different beliefs, and the often uncomfortable engagement of religion with science. This single-volume book provides a one-stop ready-reference that addresses a broad variety of subject matter on miraculous phenomena and guides further investigations into the subject. Helpful illustrations and lucid explanations of the ancillary concepts associated with miraculous phenomena make learning about this topic more engaging. Readers will be able to link the doctrinal concepts, such as "grace" or "prayer," with the descriptions of miraculous events, especially those associated with saints or holy objects. The examination of the controversial aspects of different belief systems along with the book's balanced coverage of the interpretation of miracles will encourage students to weigh different explanations, thus fostering the development of their critical thinking skills.

From Rosemary’s Baby (1968) to The Witch (2015), horror films use religious entities to both inspire and combat fear and to call into question or affirm the moral order. Churches provide sanctuary, clergy cast out evil, religious icons become weapons, holy ground becomes battleground—but all of these may be turned from their original purpose. This collection of new essays explores fifty years of genre horror in which manifestations of the sacred or profane play a material role. The contributors explore portrayals of the war between good and evil and their archetypes in such classics as The Omen (1976), The Exorcist (1973) and Dracula Has Risen from the Grave (1968), as well as in popular franchises like Hellraiser and Hellboy and cult films such as God Told Me To (1976), Thirst (2009) and Frailty (2001).

All apparitions of the Virgin Mary are classified by the Roman Catholic Church as private revelations. Joseph, Cardinal Ratzinger, when Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith wrote in 'The message of Fatima, 2000': "The teaching of the Church distinguishes between 'public revelation' and 'private revelations'. The two realities differ not only in degree but also in essence"... "In this context, it now becomes possible to understand rightly the concept of private revelation, which refers to all the visions and revelations which have taken place since the completion of the New Testament. This is the category to which we must assign the message of Fatima. In this respect, let us listen once again to the Catechism of the Catholic Church: Throughout the ages, there have been so-called 'private' revelations, some of which have been recognized by the authority of the Church... It is not their role to complete Christ's definitive Revelation, but to help live more fully by it in a certain period of history" (No. 67). The Catholic Church teaches that public revelation was completed, and therefore was concluded, with the death of the last apostle (Vatican II, Dei Verbum 4), but private revelation has continued. The church holds that approved private revelations, such as visions, voices and apparitions have been judged as coming from God in all probability, but they do not have to be accepted by the faithful whereas teachings within the deposit of faith do have to be believed and accepted. That said, these apparitions of the Virgin Mary, especially the two major ones of Lourdes and Fatima, have assumed an importance equal to biblical revelations and the Gospels themselves. However Marian apparitions really are in the realm of private revelations and thus do not have to be believed as having supernatural origins. This study sets out to show that Marian apparitions actually have their origins in natural not supernatural phenomena.Whilst there have been hundreds, perhaps thousands of Marian apparitions only 16 have been classified as 'Bishop Approved Apparitions with Vatican Recognition' and 7 ' Coptic Approved Apparitions'. This book refers to several of these.Most often, Marian apparitions occur in Roman Catholic countries wherein the seers are usually young children between the ages of 6 and 12. One natural explanation of Marian apparitions was suggested by the American parapsychologist D. Scott Rogo wrote that it is "possible that they are projections of images latent in our minds which literally become temporarily real on rare occasions.....The key to understanding Marian apparitions may be in their tendency to occur at times of social and/or political crisis. At such times of stress, some form of mass telepathic communication may occur in the collective unconscious of the threatened culture. This may lead to the formation of a "group mind", which, in turn, results in the projection of a Marian visitation." Quite how that would result in apparitions such as Lourdes and Fatima is not clear. What were the means?Ruling out the supernatural, here, the author examines natural causes beginning with hallucinations such as: the religious ones hierophany associated with sacred groves; apophenia, seeing patterns within random data and pareidolia when random stimuli, images or sounds are transformed by our minds into familiar patterns where none actually exists. Biological and geological causes are examined such as: marsh gases seepages of abiotic or natural gases causing hallucinations; geomagnetic and natural electrical discharges such as thunderstorms and especially White Ladies, dazzling balls of light.Other possible causes may arise out of the psychological traits of pre-pubescent girls and especially the levels of magnetite in their brains. One of the characteristics of the alleged Marian utterances is the variability of their reading difficulties levels as measured on the Gunning Fog Index.

Whether you are an atheist, an agnostic or a true believer and disciple of Jesus Christ, you will be mystified at what you learn from The Stigmata. The Stigmata examines such other worldly phenomena, one could liken it to a spiritual X-files episode. Christ’s death and resurrection was not the end, but the beginning for us all. Jesus’ agonizing suffering, sacrifice and surrender of his own life opened the gates of heaven to all those willing to follow Him. The stigmatics serve as an earthly human reminder of the Divine Jesus’ obedient, holy and sacrificial offering to us. The Stigmata is a compilation of some 657 individuals from the 13th to the 21st centuries who have incomprehensibly borne the wounds suffered by Christ. The Stigmata discusses many of the stigmatics in biographical detail. Some stigmatics are recognized saints, such as St. Padre Pio and St. Therese Neumann. Sainted or not, all stigmatics suffer in some way like Christ, bearing evidence of nail piercings to the hands and feet, the crown of thorns and sword laceration near the heart. Have there been fraudulent stigmatics? Yes, and The Stigmata discusses the fakes, separating them like wheat from chaff. Aside from the painful and bloody wounds these individuals suffer, many stigmatics exhibit other miraculous mysteries, from levitation and bi-location to reading of souls and other human impossibilities. The pain the stigmatics have endured is real, the phenomena they’ve experienced is mystical and their complete impact on the world is known only to God.

Miracles were certainly a part of certain periods in Bible times. What about today? Are miracles still taking place. There are some very important subjects that surround this area of discussion that are often misunderstood. Andrews will answer such questions as does God step in and solve every problem if we are faithful? Does the Bible provide absolutes or guarantees in this age of imperfect humanity? Are miracles still happening today? Is faith healing Scriptural? Is speaking in tongues evidence of true Christianity? Is snake handling biblical? How are we to understand the indwelling of the Holy Spirit? The work of the Holy Spirit. Andrews offers his readers very straightforward, biblically accurate explanations for these difficult questions. If any have discussed such questions, without a doubt, they will be very interested in the Bible’s answers in this easy to read publication.
