Summary: "Miracles and Supernatural Religion" by James Morris Whiton is a theological treatise written in the early 20th century. The book explores the concept of miracles within the context of Christian belief and its evolution through modern scholarship and ethical considerations. The author critiques traditional views of miracles as divine interventions, arguing instead for a reevaluation of the supernatural in light of contemporary understandings of nature and morality. The opening of the work discusses the significant shifts in theological thought during the 19th century, highlighting the decline in the evidential value of miracles. Whiton emphasizes that many contemporary Christian scholars now encounter miracles from a position of skepticism, suggesting that rather than bolstering faith, miracles have become points of contention. He suggests that a proper understanding of miracles as extensions of an extraordinary life may offer clarity and deeper insight into the essence of supernatural religion, which he posits should focus less on physical phenomena and more on moral and spiritual truths.
