This book discusses the supernatural in Scripture, including the scope and significance of events and embodiments.
Woodward offers an intellectually rich look at the five great religions' foundational miracles and those of the later sages and saints.
Miracle Stories explores accounts of divine intervention and unexpected religious events across diverse spiritual traditions, examining their influence on faith, spiritual practices, and cultural identities. These narratives often shape belief systems, acting as powerful catalysts in establishing ethical frameworks and strengthening community bonds. For example, stories of healing or protection from harm can profoundly impact individual believers and entire communities. The book investigates specific events deemed miraculous within different religious contexts, analyzes their impact on adherents, and studies how these narratives are constructed and passed down through generations. Each section delves into the narrative structure, cultural context, and long-term effects of various religious events. Beginning with a definition of ""miracle stories"" and the challenges of verifying such claims, it progresses through distinct sections dedicated to examining specific categories of accounts. The study also considers the psychological aspects of belief in miracles, such as cognitive biases and emotional needs.

This study concentrates on the reported miracles of the century, and attempts to exploit them not as accurate accounts of Medieval occurences but rather as an indication of the mentality and attitude toward religion and death during this unsettled period of history.
In this absorbing book, Michael Goodich explores the changing perception of the miracle in medieval Western society. He employs a wealth of primary sources, including canonization dossiers, hagiographical texts, theological treatises and sermons, to examine the Christian church's desire to create a sounder legal definition of the miracle.
