- Summary:
- The present volume examines a broad range of phenomena that have been put forward as direct interventions by God in the human realm. It looks at them through the lens of theology, but it also leans on recent developments in the field of parapsychology, a discipline that studies unusual psychic abilities. The two threads of inquiry complement each other, shedding new light on the processes of religious experience and inviting a new appreciation of the human yearning for the transcendent.
