Produktbeschreibung
A belief in miracles is at the heart of
Christianity. As for the biblical miracles and their
interpretations, however, some serious
epistemological questions have been raised by
scholars. A current issue in the study of the two
major OT miracle narratives is that they show
unusual parallels between them, though representing
different historical periods and environments. This
writing is a study of the literary and the
theological functions of the miracle narratives
associated with Moses/Joshua and Elijah/Elisha. This
study of the two major OT miracle narratives argues
the proposition that they are conspicuously
distinguished from other infrequent OT miracle
narratives in their density and significance. This
study also shows that the two pairs of miracle
narratives portray a comprehensive biblical
theology. This signifies that the miracles in the
two periods were God's careful interventions at
Israelites' religious crises with respect to His
kingdom ideal. This study brings fresh insights into
current epistemological questions among scholars,
and suggests the linkage between OT miracle
narratives and NT miracle narratives.
