Did Jesus Christ really rise from the dead, or did the lance thrust accidentally save his life? Did the Mother of God become virgin with child, or did a mistranslation turn the "young woman" into the "virgin" Mary? How could Jesus walk on water, and is there an explanation for the miraculous multiplication of bread? Is it possible that the blind, the mute, the paralysed or the lepers are suddenly healed? Why do we like to believe in miracles so much? How do miracles come about in the first place? The physician Dr. Maximilian Ledochowski gets to the bottom of these and many other questions and tries to explain the miracles of the Bible with modern knowledge.
