Download or read book Writing Faith written by Kathleen Ashley and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1999-07 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Writing Faith demonstrates that clusters of miracles form sign systems, and that it is those systems of meaning or representation that can be historically located. Thus, rather than treating individual miracle stories as transparent sources of specific historical data, we can recognize representations common to groups of miracle stories as coherent historical formations. For instance, the negative characterizations of Muslims in the late miracles situate the stories' composition in the eleventh century, a period of rising hostility on the eve of the Crusades."--Jacket.
