Naomi, as one of the most well read ABers apparently, I seek your opinion on a two volume book published I think in 2011, called, "Miracles, The Credibility Of New Testament Accounts," by Craig S. Keener.
If you would read the reviews and relate your thoughts I would be most grateful.

God Is Or Is Not.

Is Religion A Necessary Evil?

Did post there. Had it since about 23rd June. Much better now. Just feels like a bad sunburn. A long painful episode. Thanks for asking.

I know it's a horrible nerve pain, pleased you're at the end of the 'tunnel '

I’m away from home and posting from my phone which isn’t easy. Give me a few days until I’m back and I’ll be happy to take a look.

There's Moses v Pharaoh's miracle workers as I recall.

Then there's Elijah v the priests of Baal. (Remember his poring water over the whatever? And asking the priests afterwards if Baal had been... no, stop there, VE.)
Then there's the New Testament. Simon Magus? People curing the sick in Jesus' name?

Constant "miracles" then and now, Theland? How do you adduce evidence? How do you separate the true from the fake? And aren't false prophets going to produce "signs and wonders" in the "last days"?

Was that Matthew? Didn't St John say something similar?

Naomi - Thank you.
V - Yes it is a problem isn't it?

Theland

Question Author

V - I think that is the point of the two volume book.

I've read the reviews, Theland, but I'm not entirely sure why you've asked me to. I imagine the author is making a rather good living from his works though.
