Sensationalism... what is sensationalism? Some would say miracles, healings, and the raising of the dead are sensational. We have to put it into context. Obviously the ancients didn't see the notion as "sensational" seeing that Josephus and other ancient Jewish sources took this position. I propose that it only seems "sensational" to use because we've sterilized our view of the supernatural with a form of religious "rationalism" that excludes the possibility of that which we'd otherwise call the unknown.
