The Gospel of Luke narrates a number of Jesus’s miracles: the sick are healed, the demon-possessed are freed, the hungry are fed. What are Christians today to make of these extraordinary stories in a world still suffering hunger, disease, and death? Our approach will be to look to these stories for an imagination for the flourishing of human life.
