Description

"Dr. Twelftree' work on Jesus as exorcist is already well known among scholars. Here, he broadens out his work to a full consideration of Jesus as miracle worker. Especially interesting is his focus on each of the Gospels in turn, before he moves back a step to consider the historical Jesus. Dr. Twelftree's work is another sign that the whole question of Jesus as miracle worker can no longer be swept under the academic carpet. The combination of exegetical, historical, and theological perspectives in this single volume makes Jesus the Miracle Worker an especially remarkable work." --John P. Meier, University of Notre Dame The author is Distinguished Professor of New Testament at Regent University, Virginia Beach, Virginia. He is the author of numerous books, including Christ Triumphant and Jesus the Exorcist.

From the publisher

"Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching proclaiming and healing every disease and every sickness among the people." (Mt 4:23) Few today doubt that Jesus was viewed by many of his contemporaries as a miracle worker. And many scholars today would agree that Jesus was a healer and an exorcist. But what does this mean? Was Jesus simply a master at relieving psychological distress, a healer of psychosomatic illness, a purveyor of paranormal therapy? What distinguished Jesus from other miracle workers of the ancient world? And what should we make then of his stilling the storm, his walking on the sea, his feeding of the five thousand? 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. Jesus the Miracle Worker is a comprehensive and textbook study of the miracles of Jesus, written by a recognized expert in the historical investigation of the exorcisms of Jesus.

First line

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.
