1870
George MacDonald
1870
A theological exploration of the miracles performed by Jesus, written in the late 19th century. The book opens with an introduction that outlines the author’s intent to delve into the significance of these miracles as manifestations of God's will and nature. MacDonald suggests that these miracles serve a dual purpose: they illustrate Jesus' divine authority and provide insights into the character of God and the nature of creation itself. The opening of the work establishes a framework for understanding the miracles, emphasizing their role in revealing deeper truths about humanity's relationship with God. The author conveys a sense of reverence and inquiry, questioning the nature of faith and spiritual understanding. He argues that true faith transcends mere belief in miraculous events and instead seeks a deeper connection with the divine. MacDonald's reflections on the miracles—including Jesus' first miracle at the wedding at Cana—suggest that these acts are not only about physical restoration but also about the transformative power of love and the divine presence in everyday life. Through his writing, MacDonald invites readers to contemplate the broader implications of these miraculous events and their relevance to the human experience of faith and healing.
