Synopsis

Lectures On The Evidence From Miracles by Richard Charles Coxe. The work comprises a sequence of sermons delivered in Archbishop Tenison’s Chapel, Regent Street, exploring whether miraculous events can supply decisive evidence for a divine commission and the truth of Christianity. Coxe argues that miracles are a natural and intelligible instrument of revelation under certain conditions: they must be produced by the agent presenting a valid credential from God, must not contradict established truths or the nature of God, and must be accompanied by consistent life and doctrine. The Lectures proceed to examine the credibility of the New Testament writings, the genuineness and authenticity of their records, and the testimony of eye-witnesses and enemies alike, showing that the gospel accounts rest on solid historical grounds. He addresses atheistic objections raised by Hume, and defends the view that, while miracles are rare, their occurrence would be expected in a divine revelation that seeks to recover human beings from error and sin. The series culminates in a theological synthesis: if the gospel miracles are true and properly authenticated, they certify Christ's mission and warrant faith in his teaching.
