The Nature Miracles of Jesus

The nature miracle stories of Jesus--walking on the water or feeding thousands with a small amount of food for example--are so spectacular that many find them a problem whether historical philosophical or even theological. This is the first book to tackle this problem head on. Do the stories reflect events in the life of the historical Jesus or are they myths or legends? Or perhaps they grew out of parables or from more ordinary events into the incredible stories we now have. Or again perhaps this the wrong approach! A group of high-ranking biblical historians philosophers and theologians with very diverse views set out to provide possible answers. Contributors: - James Crossley - Eric Eve - Craig S.
