Miracles: A Catholic View

Miracles: A Catholic View by Ralph McInerny. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780879735401.

In an age of sophisticated technology and humanism, miracles are viewed by many (including those who profess to be Christians) as a form of superstition, as a diversion for the easily led, or as an anachronism that should go the way of other passing fads. "Skepticism rather than credulity is the danger today," Dr. Ralph McInerny tells us. "Too many reserve their wonder for the achievements of technology and regard the world as an arena where man progressively shows his mastery. Such optimism comes hard in this bloody, violence-ridden century." The aim of this book is to show what miracles mean to followers of Christ, and thus will revolve around what miracles traditionally mean to Christians, especially Catholics.
