A glowing cross in the window of a church in Florida. A bleeding
statue of Christ in Philadelphia. A young boy cured of his
blindness at Lourdes. The stigmata of Padre Pio. An appearance of a
figure thought to be the Blessed Virgin Mary before thousands of
witnesses. The image on the Shroud of Turin. Parapsychologist D.
Scott Rogo examines a variety of miracles, great and small, in
Miracles: A Parascientific Inquiry into Wondrous Phenomena. The
phenomena can be Miraculous Talents (levitation, stigmata,
bilocation), Miraculous Events (divine images, miraculous
hailstones, bleeding statues and weeping madonnas), or Miraculous
Interventions (Marian apparitions, miraculous healings). Rogo
attempts to present the scientific rather than religious case for
the miraculous, and in the process comes to a fresh and surprising
interpretation about the nature of miracles. "Miracles is a
fascinating account of the Christian legacy of wondrous phenomena.
The book is unique in that its author attempts a scientific
evaluation of these accounts and of the world view of their
proponents." - Stanley Krippner, professor of psychology, Saybrook
Graduate School, San Francisco "It's a wonderful book and I
recommend it to you all." - Richard Hatem, creator of the
"Miracles" TV series D. Scott Rogo (1950-1990) was one of the most
widely respected writer-journalists covering the field of
parapsychology, as well as an active scientific investigator.
Educated at the University of Cincinnati and San Fernando Valley
State College, Rogo held a unique position in parapsychology and
made many contributions to the field that deserve recognition. He
served as a visiting researcher at the Psychical Research
Foundation, then in Durham, North Carolina, and at the Division of
Parapsychology and Psychophysics of the Maimonides Medical Center
in Brooklyn, New York. He published papers on ESP in referred
parapsychological journals and was active in field investigations
of hauntings and poltergeists. Rogo was also a leading authority on
the history of psychical research; the breadth of his historical
knowledge of the field was unsurpassed. Over the course of more
than two-dozen published books, Rogo sought to broaden the range of
topics worthy of paranormal research.
