THE CREDIBILITY OF MIRACLE. CONSIDERATIONS ON THE JUSTIFICATION OF BELIEF IN MIRACLES

Robert A. Larmer argues in his book "The Credibility of Miracle" in a brilliant and convincing way that the philosophical rejection a priori of belief in miracles is a serious mistake. The author argues that miracle should occupy a central place in contemporary discussions about God's agency and action in the world. However, this is a topic that is often overlooked, treated as something troublesome or even superstitious, conflicting with modern science. As a result, there is a temptation to reject the concept of miracle as irrelevant to faith and spiritual life.

• An in-depth analysis of the concept of miracle
• A polemical approach to the arguments of David Hume
• An accessible language for every reader
• An introduction by the author prepared specifically for the Polish edition
• Considerations on the logical consistency of miracles
• Epistemological challenges related to the acceptance of miracles

In response to these doubts, the author conducts a detailed investigation and analysis of evidence indicating that miracles have occurred in the past and continue to happen today. The publication, polemicizing with the a priori argument formulated by David Hume, defines the concept of miracle, analyzes considerations about its logical consistency and epistemological challenges related to the acceptance of the occurrence of miracles. This is a must-read not only for philosophers, but also – thanks to the accessible lecture – for every reader interested in deepening their faith. The publication was preceded by an introduction by the author prepared specifically for the Polish edition.

The Summa series, to which this publication belongs, refers to the title of two great works by Saint Thomas Aquinas, who focused on the fact that Christianity does not undermine the value of intellectual cognition. We offer the reader publications whose authors are not afraid to conduct a factual discussion leading to the demonstration of the truth of Christianity. We hope that this will be an excellent read and an invaluable source of knowledge for those who are looking for arguments for Christianity, as well as for all doubters and even unbelievers. The latter will find an opportunity to test their disbelief.

The Credibility of Miracle is a book that provokes thought and encourages a deeper understanding of the role of faith in our lives. The author, Robert A. Larmer, with extraordinary erudition and passion, leads the reader through the intricacies of philosophical arguments, while remaining faithful to the message of hope and spiritual search. This is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the phenomenon of miracles and their impact on our perception of the world.

The book has 300 pages, format 158x236 mm and was published in 2022 in paperback by the Prodoteo Foundation.
