Interpretation Resources for the Use of Scripture in the Church : Miracles : God's presence and power in creation
Outline: Westminster John Knox Press is proud to offer an exciting new phase in the renowned Interpretation commentary series. Instead of focusing on individual books of the Bible, these additions focus on the Bible's most enduring passages and most vital themes, bringing to these topics the insight and faithful wisdom that are longtime hallmarks of the Interpretation commentary series. This expanded Interpretation series is an excellent resource for all those who teach, preach, and study the Bible. 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 a description of the competing symbolic world-views that have framed the discussion on miracles, including secular debates and theological imagination; interpretation of miracles consonant with the biblical construction of reality in the Old and New Testaments; and 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.
