Description
Father Joyce has written this treatise against those modern liberal Protestants who profess a non-miraculous Christianity. Speaking of the modern denial of miracles he says: "These tendencies towards the denial of all supernatural interference have found no foothold within the Catholic Church. In her teaching there is no hesitation or ambiguity. She points, as she has ever pointed, to the miracles of Christ as one of the firmest grounds of our belief in His claim. And she asserts with confidence that the age of miracles is not past, but that God still manifests His power by such events." The present volume sets forth clearly the true idea of a miracle, its possibility, its proof, its evidential value. Special chapters are devoted to the miracles of the Gospel and to ecclesiastical miracles. Father Joyce shows how untenable are the objections urged against miracles, and how overwhelming is the evidence for their actual occurrence. -Catholic World, Vol. 100
