ELMER, P., The Miraculous Conformist. Valentine Greatrakes, the Body Politic, and the Politics of Healing in Restoration Britain. Oxford University Press, 2012. 294p. Hardback. Elmer's account is always careful and well balanced, and offers an analysis which is nuanced and entirely persuasive. ... Elmer convincingly shows how Greatrakes's seeming success as a faith healer not only could be used to combat the widelt perceived threat of atheism, but also could be used, by some at least, to promote religious reconciliation and political unity.
