Synopsis

Miracles Essential To The Proof Of A Divine Commission. Two Discourses Preached. Dec. 30, 1838 — Joseph Hutton. The volume comprises two sermons delivered at Green-Gate Chapel, Salford, and Cross-Street Chapel, Manchester, on Sunday, December 30, 1838, and published at the request of the congregations in 1839. In these discourses, Hutton argues that miracles are essential credentials for Jesus’ divine commission, and that credible evidence must combine external signs with the internal character and moral teachings of the Gospel. He discusses how miraculous works served to establish the authority of Christ, the relation between power and knowledge, and the necessity of supernatural attestation to persuade diverse audiences. The sermons also touch on prophecy, the resurrection, and the practical duties of believers, urging imitation of Christ’s benevolent spirit and engagement in charitable work. The work contributes to Christian apologetics by illustrating how miraculous testimony supported the Christian faith in the face of intellectual doubt.
