Yet cultural challenges and modernity's skepticism have marginalized belief in them as unreasonable and irrational, says Luke Timothy Johnson.</p><p> In this excellent resource for church professionals, Johnson reclaims Christian belief in miracles as integral to recovering a proper and strong sense of creation, recognizing the validity of personal experience and narrative and asserting the truth-telling quality of myth. His analysis includes: </br><ul><li>a description of the competing symbolic worldviews that have framed the discussion on miracles, including secular debates and theological imagination;<li>interpretation of miracles consonant with the biblical construction of reality in the Old and New Testaments; <li>suggestions for four areas in the church's life—teaching, preaching, prayer, and pastoral care—that can work together to shape a symbolic world, within which believers can expect, perceive, and celebrate the miracles in everyday life.</ul><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>This volume offers a wonderful foray into a neglected area of the biblical narrative. Johnson serves as a faithful guide who walks readers through difficult biblical passages while offering a much-needed and refreshing path forward. It is a rare volume of biblical scholarship that ought to find its way onto the "must read list of anyone engaged in the practice of ministry. - Interpretation: A Journal of Bible and Theology</p><br><br><p>This volume offers a wonderful foray into a neglected area of the biblical narrative.
