In Defense of Miracles: A Comprehensive Case for God's Action in History

4.50 out of 5 stars

Description

It is a thorough, scholarly, and readable treatment of the subject that is both accessible to the general reader and stimulating to the specialist. Here is a rewritten version of the original text: For centuries, whispers of deception have swirled around the resurrection of Jesus, fueled by the dubious reports of the soldiers tasked with guarding his tomb. However, no philosopher has mounted a more formidable challenge to the concept of miracles than David Hume, whose seminal 1748 essay "Of Miracles" remains a landmark in the field. Even today, his refined and revised arguments continue to shape philosophical debates about the supernatural. In the 20th century, Antony Flew, a renowned professor emeritus at Keele University in England, advanced a series of compelling arguments against the idea of divine intervention in human history. This volume features Flew's latest objections, alongside Hume's classic critique, as part of a comprehensive case against miracles. In response, Douglas Geivett and Gary Habermas have marshaled a team of esteemed scholars to counter these objections and present a persuasive case for God's role in shaping human events. In Defense of Miracles offers a rich, up-to-date exploration of this contentious issue, making it an indispensable resource for anyone engaged in the ongoing debate about the possibility of miracles. This meticulously researched and engagingly written volume is sure to captivate both general readers and specialists alike.
