Kollmann illuminates the ancient context of the New Testament miracle tradition and explores the historical, theological, and religious educational questions it raises. The significance of the miracles for Jesus' ministry is examined, as well as the miracle criticism of the evangelists. Influential hermeneutical models are discussed as examples. A particular aim of the presentation is to highlight the contemporary relevance of the biblical miracle stories. Students should consider the book essential reading, while practitioners in schools and congregations will find it beneficial for their respective preparations.
