RT Book T1 Miracles T2 Cambridge elements T2 Elements in the philosophy of religion A1 Basinger, David LA English PP Cambridge PB Cambridge University Press YR 2018 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1066769796 AB This book is a critical overview of the manner in which the concept of miracle is understood and discussed in contemporary analytic philosophy of religion. In its most basic sense, a miracle is an unusual, unexpected, observable event brought about by direct divine intervention. The focus of this study is on the key conceptual, epistemological, and theological issues that this definition of the miraculous continues to raise. As this topic is of existential as well as theoretical interest to many, there is no reason to believe the concept of miracle won't continue to be of ongoing interest to philosophers NO Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 01 Aug 2018) CN BT97.3 SN 9781108558167 K1 Miracles DO 10.1017/9781108558167
