heresies and heretics within the Thaumata, Häfele provides a text, translation, and commentary of two miracle accounts that fall into this category (Miracle 37 and Miracle 38). Häfele concludes that, for Sophronios, illness of the body and soul are inseparable, and that healing of the soul must, in fact, precede that of the body (269–270). Häfele concludes the study with a summary which revisits the key themes of each preceding chapter. In this author’s opinion, Häfele has contributed significantly to the field, providing thoughtful analysis that contributes to current academic conversations about medicine and religion. Particularly valuable are the author’s select translations and commentary from the Thaumata, which will prove of great interest to scholars and students of languages.
