The author reviews religious beliefs about miracles and resurrection in religions and prominent religous people, chiefly in the United States. These concepts are then compared with early Mormon beliefs in miracles, which were associated with ordination from Joseph Smith. This article includes several stories of miracles performed in the early Church. The author concludes that the power of God found in miracles and resurrection gradually became a more formalized belief in priesthood, with the more rational belief that "we must do all we can, then ask the Lord to do the rest" (Brigham Young).
