Six Discourses on the Miracles of Our Saviour, and Defences of His Discourses

"Six Discourses on the Miracles of Our Saviour, and Defences of His Discourses" by Thomas Woolston presents arguments from the 1700s against understanding Jesus' miracles as real events, claiming they should instead be interpreted as symbols. The book takes a critical position against religious leaders of the time, suggesting they wrongly focused on the literal truth of miracles to prove Jesus's divinity, whereas Woolston suggests society should go back to interpreting miracles as spiritual stories. He presents the views of old religious figures to claim the miracles should be seen as deeper, more meaningful tales, such as the healing of the sick and the transfiguration.
