As is apparent from the title of this book, I am not writing about all the miracles in the Gospel of Matthew but only about the mighty acts which Jesus is said to perform (and which his followers perform in his name). I do not take up the miracles which happen to him (the virgin birth, the resurrection, the epiphanies of the baptism and transfiguration, and the like). --From the Introduction Birger Gerhardsson (1926-2013) was a Swedish biblical scholar and professor emeritus in the Faculty of Theology at Lund University, Sweden. He also authored Memory and Manuscript and The Reliability of the Gospel Tradition.
