WITHDRAWN: GIVEN TO KIMBERLEY TURNER SEPT. 2020

In the classic Miracles, C.S. Lewis, the most important Christian writer of the 20th century, argues that a Christian must not only accept but rejoice in miracles as a testimony of the unique personal involvement of God in his creation.

Great primer, but not a philosophical treatise. Lewis approaches the issue of miraculous activity and provides the categories to think of divine acts, not as violations of Nature but as supersessions of it. Chapter 3 outlines the kernel of what Plantinga has developed into the Evolutionary Argument Against Naturalism. Expect Lewis's signature conversational tone and illuminative metaphors, but don't look for technical precision or airtight argumentation. A great primer, but don't stop here.

This book is part of my C.S. Lewis collection. I went through a huge phase where I was just obsessed with anything and everything by him. While I don't agree with all of his theology, I do love his writing style and the things he has to say about faith. He was a good one. ( )
