Abstract

Although the term “Miracle Story” is frequently used in biblical studies, it does not have a single universally accepted definition. Earlier attempts to define this term, especially by Bultmann, the coryphae of the Formgeschichte, are not sufficient. In this article, a new narrative definition will be presented, which takes into account the latest tools that narratology has equipped biblical scholars with. Firstly, the new definition makes it possible to clearly distinguish a Miracle Story from a story in which a miracle occurs. Secondly, the new definition is a tool for analyzing the meaning of the miracle stories. This article is meant to be part of a series analyzing the issue of miracles in the Gospel of Luke.
