One Hundred Miracles by Christopher Calderhead

From Jesus’ dramatic raising of Lazarus to St. Francis’ courageous taming of the wold of Gubbio, this lavishly illustrated book presents one hundred masterpieces that depict one hundred epic and exalted miracles from the spiritual classics. From intimate paintings by anonymous artists to masters of their craft like Giotto and Raphael, Calderheald provides valuable insight and commentary about each artwork as well as briefly recounting each miracle story to expand the reader’s understanding.

“How strange, how outlandish these stories are. They defy all logic. Such things don’t happen in real life. But, of course, that’s the point. These stories hold the imagination precisely because they upset the normal order of things. Bread rains down from heaven to feed a wandering band in the desert; waters well up from hard rock and gush out into the valleys below. The blind see. The lame walk. The dead are raised. Miracle tales recount unexpected divine interventions into the daily affairs of human beings.” ––Introduction, Christopher Calderhead.
