Summary:
Miracles give hope to the hopeless and exemplify the intersection of the divine and the mundane. They have shaped world history and continue to influence us through their presence in films, television, novels, and popular culture. This encyclopedia provides a resource on the philosophical, historical, religious, and cross-cultural conceptions of miracles that cut across denominational lines. Entries for specific miracle stories explore their provenance, cultic aspects, philosophical underpinnings, and psychological roots. Major aspects of miraculous phenomena receive entries drawn from the humanities, social and behavioral sciences, and the hard sciences, particularly physics and natural biology. Accounts of miracles include a range of expert interpretations, thereby supporting the Common Core State Standards for History and English Language Arts.
