Abstract

Volume 40, no. 1, January 2019 67 literary and historical contextualization of their sacred texts will recognize that crosby’s use of “miracle”—denoting something wondrous, marvelous, and astonishing—translates the terms used in those texts far more accurately than the modern sense of “miracle” as an inexplicable violation of the known laws of nature. And although some naturalists may not find his “sacred” and “miraculous” terminology altogether congenial, they will likely resonate with the attitude of wonder and awe they find described here. This work has both the depth and the breadth to provoke earnest reflection in all of those audiences. its language and arguments are fully accessible to general readers, and are equally well suited for a broad range of undergradu- ate and graduate courses. it would be particularly fruitful for small group discussions because each chapter begs for lively conversation to tease out its implications for personal experience and discovery. it would lend itself easily to groups focusing on a variety of topics in religion, philosophy of religion, religion and science, and interreligious dialogue.
