ReViews: Miracles in the Gospels

By Bruce Chilton

Jesus and Magic: Freeing the Gospel Stories from Modern Misconceptions

By Richard A. Horsley
(Eugene, Oregon: Cascade Books, 2014), xiii + 178 pp., $22 (softcover)

Richard Horsley believes that since the 18th century many scholarly interpreters have misconstrued Jesus’ healings and exorcisms in the Gospels and other ancient texts due to a fundamental distortion. The author explores problems with the modern usage of “miracle” and/or “magic” with regard to these healings and exorcisms.
