The Rt. Rev. H.W. Montefiore was born Hugh William Sebag-Montefiore in London to a prominent Anglo-Jewish family. He converted to Christianity while at Rugby School. In World War II, he served as an officer in the Royal Artillery and rose to the rank of captain. After the war, he graduated from Oxford University, and legally changed his name by deed poll. He was ordained in the Anglican Church in 1949. He became the dean of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, where he was a University Lecturer in Divinity. He was the vicar of the Church of St. Mary the Great at Cambridge from 1963 to 1970, Bishop of Kingston-upon-Thames from 1970 to 1978, and Bishop of Birmingham from 1977 to 1987. Bishop Montefiore was the author of more than 20 books, including The Probability of God (1985), Christianity and Politics (1990), Credible Christianity (1993), On Being a Jewish Christian (1998) and The Paranormal: A Bishop Investigates (2002).

This book is #35 in a series of monographs designed to provide clergy and laymen the best works in Biblical scholarship both in this country and abroad. The volumes in this series are planned to further the study of Biblical theology within the Church. Based on historical and literary research, the primary aim of the series is to set out more clearly the nature of Biblical faith as a living phenomenon of vital significance for the contemporary Christian.

It is always a risk going back into topical sermons after 40 years. In this case, although the details have changed, very few of them have lost their topicallity. Unfortunately.

Hugh Montefiore offers the hypothesis that at least some of Jesus' miracles might be examples of paranormal gifts. I'm not sure I go along with him in his interpretation, but the idea is very interesting, he writes as well as ever, and many of the stories of the saints are not well known outside of the Roman Catholic church.

I found this the least satisfying of the books by Montefiore that I have read. It opens up more questions than it even tries to answer.
