In mid-July 1765, Voltaire produced a twenty-page pamphlet entitled
"Questions sur les miracles a M. le professeur Cla*** par un
proposant", hoping at best for a reply from the said pastor, little
thinking that it would lead to the publication eleven months later,
in May 1766, of a 232-page volume entitled "Collection des lettres
sur les miracles", composed of various short writings from the
period. Voltaire's series of twenty imaginary letters might at
first glance be seen as one chronological sequence, as superficial
as the fickle and fleeting question they address. But the
"Collection" is at the same time an attack on Christianity; an
attack on John Turberville Needham, a new anti-philosophical
adversary for Voltaire; and a political wrangle which questions the
relationship between church authorities and civil government,
challenged by the situation in Switzerland at the time.
