Sinopsis

Excerpt from Have We Satisfactory Evidence of the New Testament Miracles?

The Gospel Records confront us with this issue If the miracles really happened, then the gospels are authentic documents of an objective Divine Revelation. Are the miracles legendary only, then the Gospels themselves are Apocrypha of dubious historical value. In the latter casethe real Jesus is so shrouded in a mantle of myth that even the eye of the critic cannot any longer discern his true figure beneath its fantastic draperies. The cloud of myth has for ever intercepted him from our gaze. There fore either both Jesus and his miracles are historical reality or both are myth. Of course, beneath this myth there may be a kernel of truth. But then we have no historical data to enable us to detect how much is historically trustworthy.

Modern Theology is based on an arbitrary treatment of historical science. It is also an abuse of religious philosophy.

Excerpt from Have We Satisfactory Evidence of the New Testament Miracles?

Here is the dictum of Modern Theology: "Apply criticism to the Gospel narratives: educe thereby a Jesus without miracles: and the whole world of culture will adore him."

It sounds plausible, but it is a promise which cannot be performed. For the Gospel of the Apostles is wedded with its characteristic standpoint and its miracles. They are historically indivisible. The Gospel of the Apostles is a monument of history that defies all attempts at modernisation or reconstruction. You must accept it or reject it in its entirety. No impartial student can eliminate from this integral whole the miracles or treat the viewpoint of Jesus as superseded, whilst placing his person in the foreground.

For, once again, the whole historical picture and the whole outline of the life of Jesus is bound up with miracle. The miraculous is in organic unity with him. Indeed, by psychological law, his whole mental penetration into the future and the thoughts of others, was nothing else than a miracle. Attempt the critical process of weeding out the "tares" of miracles from the life of Jesus, and you will find yourself logically compelled to root up also the wheat of his words as well. If consistent, you will be driven to abandon the whole of his life-history.

The Gospel Records confront us with this issue: If the miracles really happened, then the gospels are authentic documents of an objective Divine Revelation. Are the miracles legendary only, then the Gospels themselves are Apocrypha of dubious historical value.
