At the heart of The Legitimacy of Miracle lies a provocative challenge to the prevailing philosophical wisdom. The book argues that a priori dismissals of miracles as impossible, improbable, or improper are fundamentally flawed. Instead, the rationality of believing in miracles should be determined through meticulous examination of the evidence, unencumbered by unwarranted assumptions. By clearing away conceptual obstacles and question-begging presuppositions, philosophical analysis can play a crucial role in this inquiry. However, it must not supplant the rigorous consideration of historical and contemporary evidence. Robert Larmer demonstrates that philosophy's proper role is to provide a principled rejection of in-principle arguments, rather than dictating the outcome of the debate. This nuanced exploration will resonate with scholars and students of philosophy, theology, history, and religious studies, as well as anyone seeking a thoughtful examination of the miracle question.
