Description
This volume compares two essays by John Henry Cardinal Newman, "The Miracles of Scripture," and "The Miracles of Early Ecclesiastical History," tracing his shift in theological stances.
“Besides their historical value as windows into the Victorian-era arguments regarding miracles, these essays are noteworthy in that they show a concrete instance of development in Newman’s thought. Obviously, the principle of development was important in Newman’s understanding of the history of the Church, but a development analogous to the church’s growth can also be seen in Newman’s own intellectual and spiritual journey.” —Catholic Books Review
“The two essays on miracles by Newman in this volume were written when he was a fellow of Oriel College, Oxford. . . . This edition also contains a new 36-page introduction and editor’s notes . . . by Rowell, who is Anglican bishop of Gibraltar.” —New Testament Abstracts
