Miracles: a Preliminary Study (C. Lewis Signature Classic) (C. S. Lewis Signature Classic)

Product Information

While the content is given in "the mode" of Christianity, the underlying concepts are universal in nature. Eye-catching and dreadful at the same time, this book about a book is a fascinating insight into Renaissance culture.

Also, I’m not sure describing healings as “God playing favorites” really is an adequate way to describe them. Borchert teaches art history at the universities of Aachen, Memphis (TN), and Middlebury (VT) and has curated exhibitions in Brussels, Rome, Madrid, and New York.Many explanations of the miracles recorded in the Gospels fall into one of two questionable categories: unthinking acceptance or debunking, which leaves only some vague moral lessons to be learned.

ACIM is the book that Helped change my perception of everyone and everything to a happy Perspective.

Such acts are also associated with the word “sign”, as if the important thing is to point elsewhere, such as to the kingdom of God, God Himself, or the gospel message. Well, healings from cancer, dwarfism, liver disease, paralysis, virtual brain death, brain tumors, lymphoma, blindness, deafness…the list can go on. At 6 years of age I had an illness resulting in being hospitalised for 9 months, and not expected to live. A very welcome resource for anyone seeking to understand the subject, and particularly for those challenged by the strident claims of the modern sceptics.

In any case, when it gets right down two it, you have sort of a split-personality when it comes to the topic of miracles.Many years ago I read it and underlined every page and the top of each page I wrote one sentence that stood out to me from that page. In 1965, at a time when their weekly office meetings had become so contentious that they both dreaded them, Thetford suggested to Schucman that "[t]here must be another way". Published in 1947, Miracles deals with philosophical questions that must be addressed before proper consideration of historical evidence is possible. I have just picked it back up again, and since there are a year's worth of lesson's I expect that it will be on my "currently reading" list for at least that long.
