Synopsis

Uncover the language behind miracles and what they reveal about Jesus This scholarly guide explains why biblical miracles wear many names—wonders, signs, powers, works—and how each term deepens our understanding of these events and their purpose.

This edition examines how names shape meaning, showing that a miracle is more than an astonishing act. It is a token, a pledge, and a signal of God’s presence and plan. With careful analysis, the book helps readers see how these terms point to the life and mission of Christ, and how they function as confirmations of his message.


  • Learn how “signs” differ from “wonders” and what each word conveys about Jesus’ authority.

  • Explore examples from the Gospels that illustrate how naming miracles frames interpretation and belief.

  • Discover how biblical language connects healing, prophecy, and the coming of the Messiah.

  • Gain insight into how early Christian writers and church fathers understood these terms.



Ideal for readers of biblical scholarship, theological history, and anyone seeking a clearer sense of how language shapes faith.

PEELIMINAEY ESSAY.
CHAPTER I. O.Y THE NAMES OF THE MIRACLES.
Every inquiry about a thing will best begin with an investigation of tho narao or names which it bears ; for the nani6 seizes and presents the most distinctive features, tho innermost nature of tho thing which Ave desire to understand, ami embodies this in a word. In tho name we have a witness to that which the universal sense of men, finding its utterance in language, has felt about the thing ; and if we would know one, wo must start with seeking to know also tho other. It is true that in tho investigation on which we aro now entering, thcro is not ono name only, but many, which present themselves for our study; for it results from what just has been said, that where we treat of a matter in many ways significant, its names also will bo many, seeing that no one will exhaust all its meaning. Each will embody some essential qualities of the thing; and not from tho contemplation exclusively of any ono, hut only of all of these

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
