Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans les décennies qui précédèrent la guerre de soixante-dix, main dans la main, un angelot et un diablotin, accompagnent dans ses voyages à travers l'Europe et dans ses rendez-vous avec les notables de l'Eglise, Rohault de Fleury portant ses instruments dans sa mallette: un pied à coulisse, un double décimètre, un compas, une balance de précision et quelques fioles énigmatiques. De sanctuaire en sanctuaire, muni de toutes les autorisations venues d'en haut et renseigné sur l'historique du dépôt des saintes reliques, tradition et légende mêlées, notre homme, infatigablement, opérait ses calculs et ses vérifications. Et chaque fois, à la fin de la journée, comme au soir de la moisson, le petit ange pouvait faire la nique au diablotin; le patron avait réussi. Millimètre après millimètre, milligramme après milligramme, la démonstration se configurait: l'authenticité des choses venait ratifier l'authenticité des textes. Il n'était pas un iota de l'Ecriture, dans sa relation de la Passion, qui ne fût vérifié par l'examen objectif des reliques. Incontestablement, le résultat de l'enquête apportait un bénéfice considérable à la croyance catholique. Tout a été inventorié, pesé, mesuré, en parfaite rigueur et avec l'apparence de détachement propre au géomètre dans l'exercice de son métier. La précision est implacable et fera taire toutes les mauvaises langues qui contestent la vérité de la tradition chrétienne de la mort du Sauveur. Les tableaux de chiffres ponctuent, flegmatiquement, les pages du livre et viennent poser leur point final aux digressions historiques et aux descriptions très exactes des reliques et des reliquaires. A peine commençait-on à s'évader dans une certaine rêverie, comme peut en susciter toute évocation d'un passé chargé d'émotions et haut en prestige, et voici que le calcul des surfaces et la mesure des volumes nous rattrapent et nous rappellent que nous sommes pris dans une intrigue implacable dont l'enjeu est la vérité dont on ne saurait se moquer.

This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE Cross on which our Lord and Saviour suffered, would, naturally, if properly authenticated, be an object of the deepest veneration to all Christian men, be their creed, or shade of opinion what it might; but, for over 300 years it could not be found, and it was reserved for the Empress Helena in her old age (for she was 79 years old) to discover its place of concealment.1 That this Invention, or finding of the Cross was believed in, at the time, there can be no manner of doubt, for it is alluded to by St. Cyril, Patriarch of Jerusalem (A.D. 350 to 386), and by St. Ambrose. Rufinus of Aquila, a friend of St. Jerome, in hisEcclesiastical History, gives an account of its finding, in the following words: ÒAbout the same time, Helena, the mother of Constantine, a woman of incomparable faith, whose sincere piety was equalled by her rare munificence, warned by celestial visions, went to Jerusalem, and inquired of the inhabitants where was the place where the Divine Body had been affixed and hung on a gibbet. This place was difficult to find, for the persecutors of old had raised a statue to Venus,2 in order that the Christians who might wish to adore Christ in that place, should appear to address their homage to the goddess; and thus it was little frequented, and almost forgotten. After clearing away the profane objects which defiled it, and the rubbish that was there heaped up, she found three crosses placed in confusion. But the joy which this discovery caused her was tempered by the impossibility of distinguishing to whom each of them had belonged. There, also, was found the title written by Pilate in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew characters; but still there was nothing to indicate sufficiently clearly the Cross of our Lord. This uncertainty of man was settled by the testimony of heaven.Ó And then follows the story of the dead woman being raised to life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fourth century of our common era began and ended with a miracle. Traditionally, in the year 312, the Roman emperor Constantine experienced a "vision of the Cross" that led him to convert to Christianity and to defeat his last rival to the imperial throne; and, in 394, a divine wind carried the emperor Theodosius to victory at the battle of the Frigidus River. Other stories heralded the discovery of the True Cross by Constantine's mother, Helena, and the rise of a new kind of miracle-maker in the deserts of Egypt and Syria. These miracle stories helped Christians understand the dizzying changes they experienced in the fourth century. Far more than the outdated narrative of a "life-and-death" struggle between Christians and pagans, they help us understand the darker turn Christianity took in subsequent ages. In A Century of Miracles, historian H. A. Drake explores the role miracle stories played in helping Christians, pagans, and Jews think about themselves and each other. These stories, he concludes, bolstered Christian belief that their god wanted the empire to be Christian. Most importantly, they help explain how, after a century of trumpeting the power of their god, Christians were able to deal with their failure to protect the city of Rome from a barbarian sack by the Gothic army of Alaric in 410. Augustine's magnificent City of God eventually established a new theoretical basis for success, but in the meantime the popularity of miracle stories reassured the faithful--even when the miracles came to an end. Thoroughly researched within a wide range of faiths and belief systems, A Century of Miracles provides an absorbing illumination of this complex, polytheistic, and decidedly mystical phenomenon.
