Miracles

Book • 2015

In 'Miracles', C.S.

Lewis argues that miracles are not statistically anomalous events but rather 'an interference with Nature by supernatural power'.

He challenges rationalists and naturalists by presenting a case for the possibility of miracles, defining them as events that do not break the laws of nature but rather operate outside of them.

Lewis does not attempt to prove the historical accuracy of Christian miracles but instead lays a philosophical foundation for understanding and accepting the possibility of miracles.

The book is a significant work in Christian apologetics, using lucid exposition and illuminating metaphors to make its case.
