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...
