Notes on the Miracles of Our Lord, by Richard Chenevix Trench, surveys the language used for miracle stories and what those terms reveal about their purpose. It traces words like “wonders,” “signs,” and “powers,” explaining how each label shapes the reader’s view of the events and their connection to a higher power. The book also considers how these terms relate to the broader messages of the Gospel narratives and to the moral and theological aims behind the miracle accounts.

The discussion moves from preliminary essays to specific miracle examples, offering a thoughtful look at how early Christian writers framed Jesus’ works. It weighs questions about the nature of healing, the rhythm of miracles within the day and hour, and the balance between astonishment and meaning in the narratives. The volume invites readers to reflect on how naming influences belief and interpretation.
