Images of Miraculous Healing in the Early Modern Netherlands
explores the ways in which paintings and prints of biblical
miracles shaped viewers' approaches to physical and sensory
impairments and bolstered their belief in supernatural healing and
charitable behavior. Drawing upon a vast range of sources, Barbara
Kaminska demonstrates that visual imagery held a central place in
premodern disability discourses, and that the exegesis of New
Testament miracle stories determined key attitudes toward the sick
and the poor. Addressed to middle-class collectors, many of the
images analyzed in this study have hitherto been neglected by art
historians. Link to book presentation:

What does 'performance' mean in Christian culture? How is it
connected to rituals, dramatic and visual arts, and the written
word? Performing the Sacred: Christian Representation and the Arts
explores both the meaning of re-presentation and the role of
performance within the Christian tradition between arts and drama.
The essays in this book demonstrate that the idea of performance
was central to Christian theology and that-from the Middle Ages to
the Early Modern era-it became a device through which people saw,
prayed, preached, wrote, imagined, officiated rites, celebrated
cults, and practiced devotions. Seen that performance is a habitus
within Christianity, performing the sacred does not just mean
representing it, but rather enacting it in a tangible, visible and
involved way.
