Summary
Contrary to the prevailing consensus, Manuel Nägele shows that Luke is both familiar with and deliberately employs the convention of contemporary historians to present miracles in a distanced manner. In doing so, Luke displays narrative refinement and a willingness to engage with the miraculous.
