This book explores the historical question of whether miraculous powers continued to exist in the Christian Church after the time of the Apostles. The author argues that despite the claims of many, particularly those in the Roman Catholic tradition, there is no reliable evidence that such powers have continued to exist. The author draws on ancient texts as well as arguments around the nature of miracles to support their premise that as Christianity was no longer a nascent religion, the need for miraculous powers as a method to prove its credentials had diminished. The author's examination of the subject provides insight into the historical development of the idea of miracles in the Christian tradition, and the ongoing debate between those who believe that a belief in the possibility of miracles must be an essential tenet of Christianity, and those who argue that such beliefs can undermine faith.
