Miracles and Supernatural Religion

"Miracles and Supernatural Religion" by James Morris Whiton is a book that examines the place of miracles in Christianity, particularly considering the changing ideas of the 1800s and early 1900s. The book looks at how people's beliefs about miracles have altered as new ideas about science and ethics have come about. The author talks about how more modern scholars are starting to question traditional interpretations of miracles, and how those beliefs cause disagreements. Whiton suggests that we should think of miracles as something beyond natural events, that can open our eyes to seeing the spiritual meaning of religion, because true, supernatural religion should be more about understanding right from wrong instead of just witnessing strange occurrences.
