Miracle-workers and magicians are diffcult characters for contemporary readers of Greco-Roman narratives to comprehend and to distinguish. Hindered both by our modern definitions of "miracle" and "magic," we need to focus our attention on those ancient texts that deal with such characters and their differentiation. Two such texts, the Acts of the Apostles and Philostratus' Life of Apollonius, come from quite different religious backgrounds, but demonstrate remarkably similar subtle cultural scripts at play. A detailed investigation of the social interactions in these two narrative worlds brings these characters and their communities alive and reveals how legitimate miracle-workers were distinguished from illegitimate magicians by the Mediterranean population of the Greco-Roman world.

Much More and Better is a book based on the finished work of Christ as described in the book of Hebrews. Hebrews gives us one of the best descriptions of the much more and better that we have through the new covenant ratified in the blood of Jesus Christ. This book will exalt Christ with the preeminence that he is more than worthy of, for everything lost in the fall through Adam has been restored through the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ. My prayer for you as you read this book is that you will get a magnified picture of Jesus Christ and the awesome glorious new covenant that He paid for with His own blood. As you read, it will be obvious to you that the book of Hebrews is definitely a Holy Spirit-inspired book. Read and enjoy!

That miracles exist is an important part of the Christian tradition, yet a brief survey of modern thought reveals a marked prejudice against this notion. Here, Geisler shows how the laws of logic and science speak to the reasonableness of miracles. A dispassionate look at the facts and arguments demands that doubters question their own naturalistic assumptions. Geisler also describes signs, wonders, and power, contrasting what the Bible means by a miracle with bizarre stories of saints, faith healers, and occultists. A continuation of his work begun in 'Miracles and Modern Thought', 'Miracles and the Modern Mind' includes extensive revisions and additions.
