Editorial Reviews

"The contributors shed light on the problem of the rationality of belief in miracles by inventing new arguments and setting out old arguments in new ways. The book's special merit is the systematic way in which it presents both sides of the case for and against miracles." Hugo Meynell, Department of Religious Studies, University of Calgary. "Questions of Miracle is a pertinent and persuasive contribution to the field. Larmer argues well and draws together in one volume pertinent parts of a continuing debate." Eldon Hay, Department of Religious Studies, Mount Allison University.
