Miracles and Supernatural Religion

This study examines changing theological attitudes toward miracles, arguing that critical scholarship has progressively narrowed which biblical events are considered miraculous and that some raisings of the dead may be intelligible as trance or resuscitation. It traces how alleged wonders migrate into the sphere of natural explanation as knowledge grows, and it urges a revision of apologetics that locates the genuine supernatural in moral and spiritual revelation rather than in physical marvels. Emphasizing life, psychical power, and ethical ideals as the primary vehicles of divine action, it recommends reinterpreting Jesus' extraordinary acts as signs of a higher revelatory message.
