ABSTRACT

As the question of miracles is inextricably interwoven with the history of orthodox Christianity; it will be interesting to glance at the records of a few of the miracles alleged to have occurred since the time of Jesus and of his apostles, which are as well authenticated and as worthy of credence as those recorded in the canonical books of the Bible. He who believes the miracles recorded in the Bible can show no valid reason for rejecting those to which attention is called. Medieval literature abounds in accounts of miraculous events, being the most copious during the times of the greatest ignorance and superstition. If only our souls were not dulled to the wonders that daily and hourly surround us, if we could but feel the miracle of the springtide, see God in nature and in the lives about us, surely would we hold it an insult to ask God to prove Himself in miracles.
