About this ebook
Chronicled Plagues explores the profound impact of plagues on human history, focusing on how religious interpretations and cultural narratives have shaped our understanding of these devastating events.
Examining major historical outbreaks like the Black Death and the Spanish Flu, the book analyzes how societies have used religion to explain and cope with widespread disease, divine judgment, and mortality.
Intriguingly, these religious interpretations, while often stemming from fear, have also fostered cultural resilience and communal support.
