Miracles and Wonder

In Miracles and Wonder (Vintage), Pagels turns to Jesus, exploring how a little known Jewish man became the center of a religion that changed the world. Drawing on the Gospels, Pagels investigates questions about the virgin birth, the resurrection, and the meaning of Jesus’ miracles. By reconstructing the turbulent world of Jesus and his earliest followers, Pagels creates a vivid portrait of how suffering and uncertainty transformed into hope and conviction, and, ultimately, why this story still resonates today.
