Book excerpt: Excerpt from Protestant Miracles: High Orthodox and Evangelical Authority for the Belief in Divine Interposition in Human Affairs; Some Account of Marvelous Cures of Illness, Rescue From Danger, Death, Poverty and Suffering, Through Faith and Prayer, in Recent Centuries In reading the various hypotheses advanced by material ists - philosophers real and presumptive - to explain away miracles, the conclusion is often forced on the reader that it requires more credulity to accept the theory than to accept the miracle. They seem to imagine that in calling marvelous occurrences phenomena they have disposed of the question. It never seems to occur to them that their writings will be read by those who can distinguish between matters of terminology and matters of logic, or that any will perceive that to call a miracle a phenomenon does not take it out of the realm of the miraculous. It may strike some of those who read this work that the authorities I quote in support of the opinion that the age ofmiracles has not passed away, do not agree well. That must be granted, but the disagreement is principally as to what are miracles. However inconsistent the arguments of one may be with those advanced by others, the inconsistency is no concern of mine. The main fact remains that most of those from whom I quote deserve to rank as leaders of Protestant thought and others are, at least, non - Catholic, so that in quoting them I am consistent with the purpose I had in view in undertaking to show that Protestants, under which classification I include all who are neither Catholics, Jews, Atheists, Spiritualists, Swe denborgians nor anti-christians, are by no means unanimous in the belief that no real miracles have been wrought since the death of the immediate successors of the apostles.
