The Miracle Stories of the Early Christian Tradition

“This is an impressive book. [Theissen] makes use of form criticism, structural analysis, sociological analysis, and history of religious studies to probe the miracle stories in the synoptic gospels, and he offers fresh perspectives on them.... It charts a new course, and all further work on the miracles stories will have to contend with it.”

Arland Hultgren

“The exegete who has been toiling closely on the texts of the synoptic miracle stories will find that this book provides a helpful perspective on the larger hermeneutical issues from the vantage point of structuralism.”
