Reviews
If you are a philosopher religion whose research area is miracles, the book is a must-read. If you are philosopher of religion whose research area is not miracles, then, as the book connects with core topics in this field, it will prove a valuable read. * International Journal for Philosophy of Religion *
Larmer...approaches the task of explication and defense of miracles with rigor and a broad appreciation of important arguments on the topic. His background in philosophy is in clear evidence everywhere. . . .Larmer's book is a careful discussion of many topics central to the age-old concept of miracle, and will be profitable to anyone studying the topic. * The European Legacy - Toward New Paradigms *
"I thoroughly enjoyed this work and learned much from it. This book is carefully organized, closely reasoned, relentlessly logical, and engaged with a broad range of conversation partners. Sophisticated yet accessible to the interested nonspecialist, it moves the discussion forward on a number of key points." -- Craig S. Keener, Asbury Theological Seminary
"This is a masterful work of philosophical maturity. Patient, meticulous, and well-informed, Robert A. Larmer systematically disarms the philosophical, theological and scientific case against miracles. He completes his case by showing that Christian theism is the best explanation of well-attested biblical and contemporary miracle reports. Intellectual honesty will require skeptics to reconsider their position. Highly recommended." -- Angus Menuge, President of the Evangelical Philosophical Society
