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.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an incisive examination of the historical reality of miracles recorded in the New Testament, particularly those attributed to early Christianity. The author, a respected theologian, argues that the miracles, especially those of Jesus and the Apostles, were not merely myths or legends but genuine events with verifiable historical evidence. By analyzing primary sources such as the Epistles of Paul, the author establishes that the Apostles claimed to have performed miracles themselves and that they considered these miracles essential to their divine mission. The book challenges the skeptical view that miracles are impossible and argues instead for their plausibility within the context of early Christian beliefs and practices. It also explores the philosophical and historical implications of accepting the reality of miracles, delving into the tension between scientific rationalism and religious faith. Ultimately, the book contributes to the ongoing debate on the relationship between history and faith, providing a compelling case for the historicity of New Testament miracles and their significance for our understanding of early Christianity.
