The concept of miracle
Book • 1970
Richard Swinburne's 'The Concept of Miracle' offers an analytic philosophy approach to defining and assessing miracles, arguing for their coherence within theism.
Swinburne examines historical testimony, probability, and the interplay between natural laws and divine action to show how belief in miracles can be rationally warranted.
He engages critically with skeptical positions, including Humean objections, and develops probabilistic defenses for miraculous claims.
The book is characterized by careful argumentation, technical rigor, and application to religious epistemology.
It serves as a significant modern philosophical resource for scholars and students of religion interested in the epistemology of miracles.
