Summary

From March 2012, we continue to look at miracles with Dr Craig Keener of Asbury Theological Seminary, author of the book "Miracles: The Credibility of the New Testament Accounts". Geoff Lillis is an atheist listener who interacts with Keener on a number of the miracle accounts in the book, seeking to show that there may be a natural explanation for them. They also discuss the character of some of the charismatic healing ministries that operate.
