Synopsis

This book challenges how scholars define miracles, arguing that they are instead “anything above human power.” The author argues that this view does not weaken the case for miracles in proving the truth of a religion. He draws on the writings of the Bishop of Chester, maintaining that the reality of evil spirits should not be dismissed entirely when discussing miracles. However, the author argues that the distinction between types of miracles is unnecessary since all miraculous acts confer authority on the agent, while only an inadmissible doctrine or conflict with an equal authority can dissuade belief. This insightful book presents a fresh and compelling perspective on the nature of miracles that scholars and theologians alike will find fascinating.
