| Summary: | Observations such as the importance of the miraculous for Jews among Paul's peers, Paul considering the eschaton had come at least in part, that he saw himself in the tradition of the scriptural prophets, that the miraculous was important in the Christianity Paul initially encountered, and that his own experience included the miraculous, lead to a predisposition to finding the miraculous important in Paul's ministry. In turn, passages that have been at the centre of discussions about Paul's ministry and the miraculous show that his gospel was a combination of his speaking and the miraculous. However, instead of claiming to perform miracles, Paul most often described himself as 'gospelling' rather than preaching, assigning God the credit for the miraculous. The miraculous was, then, part of Paul's ministry not because he was a person of spiritual power, but because the power of God worked through his weakness. |
