About this audiobook
In Signs and Wonders: A Beginner's Guide to the Miracles of Jesus, Amy-Jill Levine explores selected miracles of Jesus in historical and theological context. For each miracle, she discusses not only how past witnesses would have understood the events, but also how today's listeners can draw meaning from Jesus's words and actions. Chapter topics include:
- Giving sight to the blind: Metaphors of understanding (Mark 8, John 9)
- "Take up your pallet and walk" (the paralyzed man): On the role of caregivers
- A bleeding woman and a dead girl: The importance of women's bodies
- Walking on water and stilling the storm: Ecological readings of the Gospels
- The raising of Lazarus: Taking death seriously
