Jesus turned water into wine, Mohammad split the moon into two, and
Buddha walked and spoke immediately upon birth. According to recent
statistics, even in the present age of advanced science and
technology, most people believe in miracles. In fact, newspapers
and television regularly report alleged miracles, such as
recoveries from incurable diseases, extremely unlikely
coincidences, and religious signs and messages on unexpected
objects. In this book the award-winning author and philosopher
Yujin Nagasawa addresses some of our most fundamental questions
concerning miracles. What exactly is a miracle? What types of
miracles are believed in the world's great religions? What do
recent scientific findings tell us about miracles? Can we
rationally believe that miracles have really taken place? Can there
be acts that are more religiously significant than miracles?
Drawing on a vast variety of fascinating examples from across the
major religions, Nagasawa discusses the lively debate on miracles
that ranges from reported miracles in ancient scriptures in the
East and West to cutting-edge scientific research on belief
formation. Throughout, he drives us to ask ourselves if and how we
can still believe in in miracles in the twenty-first century. ABOUT
