Summary

Miracles Today with Dr. Craig Keener Do the sorts of miracles we read about in the book of Acts and the New Testament epistles happen today? Is there any reliable source material for documenting such miracles? Why does it seem miracles happen less in the modern world than earlier eras? Does the culture have something to do with it? Or are miracles today an unreasonable expectation? In this episode of the podcast we talk with the scholar who has devoted more time and attention to miracles than any other in this or the past century, Dr. Craig Keener. More specifically, the focus of our discussion is Dr. Keener’s new book, Miracles Today: The Supernatural Work of God in the Modern World (Baker Academic, 2021).

0:36.2	Hey Mike, how you feeling?
0:38.0	I'm pretty good.
0:39.8	I'm kind of pumped for this interview because this has been months in waiting for this book
0:45.4	to come out.
0:46.8	Our listeners will figure out why, you know, pretty soon, but not only is the subject matter
0:51.7	intriguing and of course, you know, it hits the sweet spot for us in biblical studies
0:57.1	because Dr. Kwinner has a much larger work on the subject of miracles and now he's
1:02.0	condensing it and adding new material for sort of a more basic introduction to modern miracles.
1:10.5	So not only is the subject matter intriguing, but it just hits that perfect spot of doing
1:15.6	something really useful for, you know, average believer, you know, average person in church
1:20.6	who's interested in a topic, providing good resources, not only just a good read, but
1:26.9	also something that you can have in your library or at home to reference for people who, you
1:32.6	know, would just take a more negative or skeptical view of, you know, what God might be, you
1:38.4	know, capable of doing, you know, it sounds even weird to say it that way, but he might
1:42.1	be capable of doing today.
1:43.5	So this is something I've looked forward to for quite a while.
