Overview

In The Healer from Nazareth, Eric Eve asks what the truth is behind the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ miracles. By thoroughly examining the evidence—historical, cultural, literary and social-scientific—Eric Eve shows how these “signs and wonders” might most plausibly be understood.

This is an ideal introduction to the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ miracles and to the larger questions surrounding study of the historical Jesus. Eve’s balanced approach and clear style make the book accessible to readers of all Christian traditions and to non-Christians who are interested in finding out more about Jesus.
