Abstract
As I began to study, the first thing I did was to examine all the English words used to communicate the idea of a miracle in various translations the Bible. Those words include “miracles,” “signs,” “wonders,” “works,” “mighty works,” “portents,” and “power.” There are nuances of meaning between these seven terms, but the differences are slight. For example, a “sign” points to something beyond itself, to a spiritual reality, and a “wonder” refers to a sense of jaw-dropping “shock and awe” in the presence of the supernatural.4
