Synopsis

Exploring the evidence for miracles and the Christian claim — this work re-examines David Hume’s argument with a clear, careful rebuttal.

It offers a thoughtful look at how miracles are argued to prove religion, and how scripture and history can be weighed together.

This edition presents a structured critique that defends a rational understanding of faith. It argues that Christianity can be tested by reason and evidence, while acknowledging the role of belief. Readers will see how arguments from prophecy, testimony, and miracle are treated in a measured, historically grounded way.

• A concise overview of the debate over miracles in religious philosophy
• Analysis of how early Christian miracles are presented and defended
• Comparison with miracles claimed in other traditions, including pagan and Catholic contexts
• Discussion of how faith and reason interact when evaluating religious truth

Ideal for readers of religious philosophy, historical theology, and anyone curious about how faith stands up to scrutiny.
