Scholarly literature on Jesus has often attempted to relate his miracles to their Jewish context, but that context has not been surveyed in its own right. This volume fills that gap by examining both the ideas on miracle in Second Temple literature (including Josephus, Philo, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha) and the evidence for contemporary Jewish miracle workers. The penultimate chapter explores insights from cultural anthropology to round out the picture obtained from the literary evidence, and the study concludes that Jesus is distinctive as a miracle-worker in his Jewish context while nevertheless fitting into it.

Many explanations of the miracles recorded in the Gospels fall into one of two questionable categories: unthinking acceptance or debunking, which leaves only some vague moral lessons to be learned. In this text, Jeffery John sets the miracles of Jesus in a wider biblical context and shows them to be loaded with theological and prophetic relevance. This broad perspective, which brings together theological enquiry and the needs of personal faith, should come as a revelation to many Christians searching for a proper understanding of Jesus' miracles.

Richard Ascough presents and interprets 27 miracles performed by Jesus during his public ministry. Each miracle selected is both a demonstration of and a challenge to faith. All four of the Gospels present Jesus as a miracle worker. The stories show that Jesus preached the in-breaking of God's kingdom while demonstrating its arrival through mighty works. Together, the miracles reveal Jesus' concern for all people - there are no ethnic, social, or gender barriers to God's care. This book seeks to understand Jesus' miracles in their social and literary contexts in order to see how these miracles demonstrate God's concern for the whole person, not only in antiquity but also in our own lives today. "While Jesus healed people, he did not heal everyone. Sickness, disease, and death are still prevalent, at least while we await the full manifestation of God's kingdom on earth," writes Ascough in the opening chapter. "However, whenever relationships are restored, faith is strengthened. When people recover from illness we see signs of God's restoration and involvement in our lives. Seen from the perspective of faith, God can be understood to be working in extraordinary ways in each of our lives. Such miracles are signs of God's restoration of order in a disorderly, broken world." Many current popular books on miracles are either anecdotal or refer only peripherally to the biblical texts. This book gives serious attention to understanding Jesus' miracles in their socio-cultural context and then brings them into conversation with our own world. However, while The Miracles of Jesus draws upon a wealth of biblical scholarship, it is presented in a readable and accessible style. This is a book for those who want a serious, readable account of the details and implications of Jesus' miracles.

Most Christians know the stories of Jesus healing people and controlling nature, but many are less sure why Jesus did these things or how they relate to their lives today. Theologian, professor, and author Simon J. Kistemaker carefully examines each of Jesus's miracles. He lays out the cultural background, explains symbolism and Old Testament connections, and fleshes out the details of each story. Each chapter also includes a section focused on how the miracle relates to the life of the modern follower of Jesus. Kistemaker's scholarly attention to detail coupled with accessible explanations and application will make this book valuable to everyone from lay readers to pastors looking for sermon material.

For more than a century, scholars have debated whether Paul the apostle was a faithful follower of Jesus or a corruptor of Jesus’s message and the true founder of Christianity. Signs of Continuity intervenes in this debate by exploring a largely overlooked element of similarity between the two men: the place of miracles in their ministries. In his close analysis of the miracles performed by Jesus and Paul, Greg Rhodea points to signs of continuity between these two historical figures of Christianity. He argues that both Jesus and Paul understood their miracles as accompanying and actualizing a message of gracious inclusion of the marginalized, resisted proving their ability to work miracles to those who asked for a sign despite the importance of miracle-working to their personal authentication, and interpreted miracles as proof of the presence of the eschatological kingdom. Based on these similarities, Rhodea concludes that Paul the apostle knew of Jesus’s miracles and that he imitated Jesus in his own ministry of miracle-working. In highlighting this previously unexplored area of continuity, Rhodea makes a significant contribution to the debate over the relationship between Jesus and Paul. Biblical scholars and students interested in this debate will find Signs of Continuity enlightening and informative.
