Jesus the Miracle Worker

In this study of the miracles of Jesus, Graham Twelftree extensively examines the miracles within each Gospel narrative. He evaluates Jesus' own understanding of the miracles, weighs the historical reliability of the miracle stories, and considers the question of miracles and the modern mind. This book maps and explores the borderlands between the affirmations of faith and the conclusions of historical method. Are some miracles simply more open to historical verification than others? With the historical study of Jesus once again capturing the attention of the media and the public, this timely book courageously steps forward to investigate the hard questions.

המשפט הראשון: Studying the miracles of Jesus is important for at least three initial reasons: (1) the contemporary popular interest in Jesus; (2) the high proportion of space given to the subject of miracles in the Gospel in contrast to general scholarly neglect; and (3) that in ancient biographical writing a person's activities were important for understanding an individual's character.
