Synopsis

Eight Lectures On Miracles: Preached Before The University Of Oxford In The Year M.DCCC.LXV. On The Foundation Of The Late Rev. John Bampton is a scholarly work by James Bowling Mozley that presents an eight-lecture examination of miracles within Christian theology. Mozley argues that miracles are not irrational interruptions of nature but necessary affordances for divine revelation, serving as signs that authenticate God’s communication to humanity. The lectures discuss the purpose and evidence of miracles, the relation between the order of nature and divine intervention, the influence of imagination on belief, and the proper grounds for judging supernatural events. The later sections analyze testimony, unknown law, and the practical effects of miraculous claims on doctrine and society, while also addressing false miracles and deceptive claims. Prefaced by a note on contemporary intellectual currents, the work situates miracles within a rational defense of Christian faith and moral action.
