Psychology, religion, and social change. 520 "Insanity and Sanctity in Byzantium aims to understand how the use of psychological abnormality functions in deep societal transformations, producing a major shift in the religious, cultural, mental, and social aspects. The book examines a particular set of religious phenomena, in a broadly defined period and area - the Eastern Mediterranean and the Near East between the birth of Christianity and that of Islam - and seeks to reach conclusions on the nature and function of abnormal behavior sanctified by society. Taking as a starting point a particular type of saint of Orthodox Christianity, the holy fool, the person who feigns madness, and investigating other types of saints who portray abnormal behavior, such as the martyr and the ascetic, the book reveals the ambiguous character of the boundary between sanity and insanity. It explains the significance of this ambiguity to the religious experience as a motor of social movement, and sets it at the core of the socio-religious transformation that changed the Antique civilization into a world of medieval societies."--|cProvided by publisher. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Psychology and religion|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85108487|zByzantine Empire.|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/names/n80085269-781 650 0 Mental illness|xReligious aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85066565|zByzantine Empire.|0https: //id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n80085269-781 650 0 Mental illness|xSocial aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008107693|zByzantine Empire. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n80085269-781 650 0 Religion and sociology|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85112587|zByzantine Empire.|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/names/n80085269-781 650 0 Christian saints|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85025177|zByzantine Empire.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n80085269-781 650 0 Holy fools|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh87004689|zByzantine Empire.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n80085269-781 650 7 Psychology and religion.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1081555 650 7 Mental illness|xReligious aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1721215 650 7 Mental illness|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1016602 650 7 Religion and sociology.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1093858 650 7 Christian saints.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 859491 650 7 Holy fools.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/959039 651 7 Byzantine Empire.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1209292 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aRotman, Youval.|tInsanity and sanctity in Byzantium.|dCambridge, Massachusetts : Harvard University Press, 2016|z9780674057616|w(DLC) 2015051254 |w(OCoLC)936548736 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1364269|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
