The exploration of miracles attributed to Jesus in the Gospels challenges the prevailing materialist perspective that dismisses miraculous events as historical inaccuracies. This study critiques contemporary biblical scholarship for its skepticism, suggesting that miracles are often viewed as social constructs rather than genuine occurrences. It argues that modern scientific advancements hint at a creator, proposing that the universe and humanity exhibit signs of intentional design. The book invites readers to reconsider the intersection of faith, science, and history in understanding miraculous events.

Focusing on the historical context of Jesus, this book delves into the dynamics of late antiquity in the Mediterranean, examining the interplay of Israel's economic, social, religious, and political structures. It positions Jesus within contemporary renewal movements that sought to address the crises facing first-century Jewish society. By exploring these foundational aspects, the work aims to reveal Jesus' humanity and significance in history, portraying him as a figure whose teachings emerged amidst a struggling nation.

This study of the parables of Jesus grasps the character and person of the Jesus of history. Readers will experience him as a flesh and blood person intimately immersed in and engaged with his world and the people of his world.
