Book Description
"Michael Moran has a secret. A secret hidden so deep inside that even he didn't know it -- until the fateful day a single word tumbled from his lips: Kimota! It came from the deepest recesses of his memory, from a past life repressed, and with it came unbelievable abilities. The consequences of this single world would transform not only the life of Michael Moran and those closest to him, it would also pull an unsuspecting world into coexistence with something marvelous. Something that not even our mythologies, folklore, films or comic boooks could have prepared us for. Kimota! And Mike Moran was no longer just a mortal man. He was a miracle of godhood.

Marvels and Miracles in Late Colonial Mexico
Author: William B. Taylor
Publisher: University of New Mexico Press
ISBN: 0826349773
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
Miracles, signs of divine presence and intervention, have been esteemed by Christians, especially Catholic Christians, as central to religious belief. During the second half of the eighteenth century, Spain’s Bourbon dynasty sought to tighten its control over New World colonies, reform imperial institutions, and change the role of the church and religion in colonial life. As a result, miracles were recognized and publicized sparingly by the church hierarchy, and colonial courts were increasingly reluctant to recognize the events. Despite this lack of official encouragement, stories of amazing healings, rescues, and acts of divine retribution abounded throughout Mexico. Consisting of three rare documents about miracles from this period, each accompanied by an introductory essay, this study serves as a source book and complement to the author’s Shrines and Miraculous Images: Religious Life in Mexico Before the Reforma.

Recognizing Miracles in Antiquity and Beyond
Author: Maria Gerolemou
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 311056355X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
In recent years, scholars have extensively explored the function of the miraculous and wondrous in ancient narratives, mostly pondering on how ancient authors view wondrous accounts, i.e. the treatment of the descriptions of wondrous occurrences as true events or their use. More precisely, these narratives investigate whether the wondrous pursues a display of erudition or merely provides stylistic variety; sometimes, such narratives even represent the wish of the author to grant a “rational explanation” to extraordinary actions. At present, however, two aspects of the topic have not been fully examined: a) the ability of the wondrous/miraculous to set cognitive mechanisms in motion and b) the power of the wondrous/miraculous to contribute to the construction of an authorial identity (that of kings, gods, or narrators). To this extent, the volume approaches miracles and wonders as counter intuitive phenomena, beyond cognitive grasp, which challenge the authenticity of human experience and knowledge and push forward the frontiers of intellectual and aesthetic experience. Some of the articles of the volume examine miracles on the basis of bewilderment that could lead to new factual knowledge; the supernatural is here registered as something natural (although strange); the rest of the articles treat miracles as an endpoint, where human knowledge stops and the unknown divine begins (here the supernatural is confirmed). Thence, questions like whether the experience of a miracle or wonder as a counter intuitive phenomenon could be part of long-term memory, i.e. if miracles could be transformed into solid knowledge and what mental functions are encompassed in this process, are central in the discussion.
