CH 6, ¶2

From the acknowledged parts of this case, I think it clear that the Christian story was based on miraculous events. There is nothing else they could have been based on. Nothing exciting, like a political revolution, occurred. Only the life of the man Jesus could account for the Christians' actions, and this man was particularly unremarkable. Only by attributing the miraculous to Jesus is the story made possible. Every controversy and every question supposes that Christianity is based on miracles. Whether or not miracles were most often explicitly discussed is beside the point--miracles were the foundation to the arguments themselves. (McNany)
