The moving accounts of Jesus? power to cast out demons and heal physical ailments are compelling preaching texts ? but they also present a tangle of problems. This book helps you negotiate a homiletic minefield with a detailed exploration of eleven miracle narratives appearing in Cycle B. It's packed with stimulating ideas and illustrations for developing dynamic sermons, including a chapter with numerous examples of contemporary miracles and healings. ?This is an admirable example of pastoral theology at its best. Aaron's discussions of the historical background and theological significance of each text are thoroughly informed and articulate. Equally helpful are the insights he brings to the understanding of the pastoral implications of each text and the strategies appropriate to preaching the text.? ? David Bartlett, Yale Divinity School
