Miracles have been one of the most remarkable elements of religions throughout human history. In Christianity, in particular, miracles not only expressed God's existence and power but also formed the foundations of faith. In the life of Jesus Christ and the early church, miracles were seen as a concrete manifestation of divine love and served as both theological and spiritual guides for Christians. This book examines the historical, theological, phenomenological, and hermeneutical dimensions of the Christian understanding of miracles. Therefore, it is the first original study in Türkiye in this format. Throughout the book, a broad perspective is presented, starting with the biblical foundations of miracles in Christianity, through the interpretations of the Church Fathers, to their place in medieval theology, and from their perception in Reformation theology to their understanding in modern theology. Furthermore, it examines the significance of miracles not only as historical phenomena but also in the lives of Christians today. The understanding of miracles in Christianity has sparked significant debate in the context of the relationship between natural laws, divine intervention, and faith. Therefore, the book is not only a theological examination but also seeks to answer philosophical and scientific questions about miracles. In this context, it focuses on fundamental issues such as the impact of miracles on Christianity, the way God communicates with humanity, and how miracles are perceived in the modern world. We hope that the book will appeal to all theologians, students, and researchers, both Western and Eastern, who seek to better understand the concept of miracle in Christianity, as well as to the general reader. Our greatest hope is that this book will open a door to understanding the concept of miracle in Christianity and invite readers on a journey into the depths of this divine phenomenon.
