Suppose that one is presented with a report of a miracle as an
exception to nature's usual course. Should one believe the report
and so come to favour the idea that a god has acted miraculously?
Hume argued that no reasonable person should do anything of the
kind. Many religiously sceptical philosophers agree with him, and
have both defended and developed his reasoning. Some theologians
concur or offer other reasons why those who are believers in God
should also refuse to accept accounts of miracles as accurate
reportage. This book argues to the contrary. For Houston, miracle
stories may contribute towards the reasonableness of belief in God,
and, appropriately attested, may be accepted by believers in God.
To bolster his case he examines historically and intellectually
significant writings about the miraculous. And having argued for
the rejection of Hume, he explores the implications of this
rejection for science, history and theology.
