From "The Rhetorical Function of Miracles in the New Testament" session at the Society's 2001 meeting in Denver, seven essays interact with Wendy J. Cotter's The Miracles of Greco-Roman Antiquity. The topics include sociorhetorical interpretation of miracle discourse in the synoptic gospels, miracle discourse and the gospel of John, the role of resurrection and rhetoric in miracle discourse in the Pauline epistles, and critical reflections on "ancient miracle discourse" discourse. Cotter herself responds to the essays. The Society of Biblical Literature publishes the paperbound edition; Brill publishes the hardbound.
