Review Quotes
"A masterful study of an important aspect of the ministry of the historical Jesus . . . a significant contribution to the field."
"Graham Twelftree's study makes a significant contribution to what has been called the third quest of the historical Jesus."
"It is a pleasure and enrichment to read his new work. . . . a very timely and well-conceived book."
"Richly documented and cogently argued, the book will offer a challenge to all recent bids to see Jesus as other than a wonderworking Messiah who announces by his signs the presence of the Kingdom."
"The combination of exegetical, historical and theological perspectives in this single volume makes Jesus the Miracle Worker an especially remarkable work."
"The work of an expert . . . who sees the problem of Jesus the Miracle Worker not only from an exegetical New Testament point of view but also in its relations to philosophical, theological and scientific problems. . . . a valuable contribution to the better understanding of the Gospels."
"This fine study of the miracle traditions in the Gospels faces squarely the awkward philosophical and historical questions."
"Twelftree . . . masterfully guides his readers through issues of theology and historicity, demonstrating the trustworthiness of most all of the major thrusts of the Gospel miracles (and not a few minor ones). . . . a very welcome and important addition to the `third quest.'"
