Acclaimed by the French as \"the father of our history\" on account of his \u003ci\u003eHistory of the Franks\u003c\/i\u003e, he also wrote stories about holy men and women and about wondrous events he experienced, witnessed, or knew as miracles. In our times many people deny the existence of miracles, while others use the term so loosely that it becomes almost meaningless. Must a true miracle transcend \"natural laws\"? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGregory's lively stories relate what he regarded as the visible results of holy power, direct or mediated, and its role in the lives of his contemporaries. His conversational narratives, which are largely without self-conscious stylistic effects, present unique, often moving, glimpses into his world. For Gregory, the frontiers between interior and exterior, God and matter, word or gesture and its referent, remained fluid. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eLives and Miracles\u003c\/i\u003e includes the texts of \u003ci\u003eThe Life of the Fathers\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Miracles of the Martyr Julian\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Miracles of Bishop Martin\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gregory of Tours\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 067408845X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674088450\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/05\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 976\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.30w x 2.30d","brand":"Gregory of Tours","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46747587150079,"sku":"9780674088450","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_806ffebe-9c80-47a4-adfa-0336adb87d6b.jpg?v=1743584178","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lives-and-miracles-gregory-of-tours-9780674088450","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
