In Ministry and the Miraculous, a task force of twelve respected scholars of Fuller Theological Seminary, led by Dr. Lewis B. Smedes, address the complexities of an issue which is the concern of every pastor and parishioner seeking insight into the relation- ship of the miraculous to the pastoral ministry.

Dr. Hubbard, in his Foreword, emphasizes that Christians whose primary ministry is scholarship bow before mysteries but do not back away from them. He points out that part of a seminary's ser- vice to the church is to study the complex, sort out the intricate, scrutinize the puzzling, and responsibly face up to the tough ques tions put to us by the Scriptures, the church, and the contempo- rary world.
