A Dissertation on Miracles (Classic Reprint)

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a thought-provoking examination of miracles, specifically those associated with the Christian faith. The author meticulously dissects the arguments presented by the renowned philosopher David Hume, who famously contended that miracles are inherently improbable and cannot be substantiated by testimony. Set against the backdrop of the 18th-century Enlightenment's emphasis on reason and empirical evidence, this book challenges Hume's skepticism. The author contends that the evidence for Christian miracles is not only credible but compelling. He argues that the transformative impact of these miracles on individuals and society, coupled with the unwavering conviction of eyewitnesses who were willing to face persecution and even death for their beliefs, provides a strong foundation for faith. The book delves into profound theological and philosophical questions surrounding the nature of belief, the role of experience in shaping our understanding of the world, and the possibility of divine intervention in human affairs. By exploring the interplay between reason and faith, the author invites readers to reconsider their own perspectives on miracles and the historical claims of Christianity. Ultimately, this book underscores the enduring power of faith and the profound implications of accepting the reality of miracles for our understanding of the world and our place within it.
