When we try to understand why some miracles in religious texts change the destiny of an entire people while others touch only one person's life, we’re really exploring the architecture of storytelling itself.
When ancient religious texts describe miracles, they rarely present them as isolated events that vanish once the moment passes. Instead, the miracle becomes something larger: a memory structure, a ritual command, a national myth, a liturgical rhythm, or even a symbolic identity.
Every culture tells stories about leaders. But religious cultures do something more: they tell stories about leaders who reshape the world itself.
Miracles in religious texts do not simply astonish — they teach. They shape moral vision, frame how people interpret suffering, and offer a window into how a community understands its God.
Miracles do not stay frozen in time. They change. They grow. They are reinterpreted, reimagined, argued over, ritualized, softened, rationalized, defended, and expanded.
