A propos du livre

Revue de presse

'Keith Warrington combines the best in biblical exegesis with his own Pentecostal experience. In this book he not only sees miracles in the ministry of Jesus as acts of power, but he explores their primary purpose in what they teach us about Jesus. It is meticulously referenced, and the reader will find this a treasure of both scholarship and inspiration.' --Allan H. Anderson, Professor of Mission and Pentecostal Studies, University of Birmingham

'Readers of this book are able to explore the identity and mission of Jesus through the clear lens of the miracle stories. Warrington does not question whether or not the miracles happened but shows what the stories meant for the Gospel writers, and reveals that the miracle stories are not peripheral to the gospel; they are the gospel.' --- Graham H. Twelftree, Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity, Regent University

'Warrington's use of various critical methodologies is both highly selective and well done, and his writing style is eminently readable. This volume is useful to pastors and students alike, and it provides a much needed corrective to many who have adopted certain interpretations without first understanding the intent of the various Gospel writers.' --Cecil M. Robeck, Jr, Professor of Church History and Ecumenics, Fuller Theological Seminary

'Systematic and insightful, academic and inspiring, these studies on all the healing miracles of the Gospels will speak to a wide range of people, from young Christians to preachers and seasoned scholars. Keith Warrington has given us a rich and interesting book that I can thoroughly recommend.' --William K. Kay, Professor of Theology, Glyndwr University

Présentation de l'éditeur

The first comprehensive scholarly survey of all the Gospel miracles for nearly fifty years. In this magisterial study, Keith Warrington paints a rounded picture of Jesus as a miracle worker by exploring each of the miracles in the Gospels in their literary and historical setting. He demonstrates that, while the miracles are historically authentic, there are several reasons for their presence in the Gospels other than simply to identify Jesus as a miracle worker. They are also intended to function as vehicles of teaching: expressing aspects of the mission and person of Jesus, providing lessons for his would-be disciples and adding theological value for each Gospel's original audience.
