In order to shed light on Modernity's discourse about the pathology of deviant religiosity, this book focusses on three topoi: Marian apparition, the imitation of Christ, and religiously motivated homicide. All of them foreground the problematic differentiation between "sound" faith and religious delusion. The book shows how medical, religious and literary knowledge about the pathology of deviant religiosity was being produced, received and adopted since the 19th century. Various multidirectional interrelations between real cases, medical and religious texts as well as literary and cinematic fiction are being explored. Marienerscheinung, Christus-Imitation, religi???s motivierte T???tung: Zahlreiche Texte des medizinischen, religi???sen und literarischen Diskurses widmen sich diesen Auspr???gungen devianter Religiosit???t. Das Buch widmet sich der Kultur- und Wissensgeschichte dreier Ph???nomene, bei denen das Problem der Abgrenzung von "gesundem" Glauben und religi???sem Wahn hochgradig virulent ist. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Frage nach der Produktion, Rezeption und Beschaffenheit medizinischen, religi???sen und literarischen Wissens ???ber die Pathologie devianter Religiosit???t in der Moderne. Insbesondere wird gezeigt, wie die Wechselwirkung von realen F???llen, medizinischen und religi???sen Texten sowie literarischen und filmischen Verarbeitungen kulturgeschichtlich modelliert werden kann.
