Features
32 Madonna Mania (Cover Story)
Ted Harrison looks back to 1985, when crowds of people all over Ireland were seeing statues of the Blessed Virgin Mary in motion. What was going on? Optical illusions? Mass hysteria? Or something very strange indeed?
40 Looking Over Jordan
Veteran fortean Richard Seary examines the death of Moses and the influence of simulacra on the foundations of religious faith.
46 Treasures of Heaven
David V Barrett visits the British Museum's 'Treasures of Heaven' exhibition, where he finds not just the purported mortal remains of saints, and nails and thorns from the True Cross, but a dazzling display of mediaeval craftmanship.
50 The Secret Gospel of Mark
Andrew Smith attempts to untangle the web of mysteries around what has come to be known as the Secret Gospel of Mark. Do the hints contained in a long-forgotten letter by an early Church Father suggest Jesus performed homosexual rituals? Or is the letter itself a forgery perpetrated over a lifetime by a brilliant academic?
