Join Dr. Amy-Jill Levine as she discusses with writer Rob Simbeck her new study, Signs and Wonders: A Beginner’s Guide to the Miracles of Jesus.

In her new book, Amy-Jill Levine explores selected miracles of Jesus in historical and theological context. For each miracle, she discusses not only how past witnesses would have understood the events, but also how today’s readers can draw meaning from Jesus’s words and actions.

Hear from Levine as she examines how to open new ways of reading these narratives, encounter new ideas, and create new insights that can challenge old views. Join us to see how the miracle stories of Jesus work for us, with us, and even on us.
