Part I
Norm is in the Old City of Jerusalem and is looking at the miracles that Jesus performed. A chart defines the miracles as seven exorcisms, fourteen healings, three raisings of the dead, and nine nature miracles (105). Norm decides to wander the city and came upon the healings pools where he listened in on a tour guide describing the history of the pools. Norm visited the Pool of Siloam the next day, and talked about some of the wonder workers who performed miracles. Norm traveled to Tiberias and hitchhiked to Tabgha, the monastery that marks the site where Jesus multiplied loaves and fish (118). Norm questions one being able to have “dialogue with a devil” when he returns to Tabgha from a trip with Anna (131). Norm eventually ended up in Ibillin, west of Nazareth.
Part II
The miracle stories are under much scrutiny in this chapter. Norm keeps finding new pieces of history that contradict previous ones. The miracle of Jesus walking on water is one that has a different ending depending on which gospel, Matthew, Mark, or John, you are looking at (128). The stories never are the same.
