Bruce, a Bible historian, contends, “There is no body of ancient literature in the world which enjoys such a wealth of good textual attestation as the New Testament” (Niles). The Bible is a historical document with an abundance of reasons why it can be supported as one. One explanation would be the consistency of the documents that were

The miracle tradition is one of the most essential themes of the New Testament. It is an integral part of the Gospels; most specifically its importance is noted in the books of Matthew, Mark and Luke, which are together known as the synoptic gospels. Miracles or wondrous deeds were important elements to Jesus’ teachings. There are many accounts of miraculous events between these three texts, some omitted and some are added.
