Robert Larmer has written an outstanding monography on miracles. He writes with philosophical rigor and intellectual vigor. He leaves few stones unturned. This is the best philosophical defense of miracles in a crowded field.

This is a masterful work of philosophical maturity. Patient, meticulous, and well-informed, Robert A. Larmer systematically disarms the philosophical, theological and scientific case against miracles. He completes his case by showing that Christian theism is the best explanation of well-attested biblical and contemporary miracle reports. Intellectual honesty will require skeptics to reconsider their position. Highly recommended.

I thoroughly enjoyed this work and learned much from it. This book is carefully organized, closely reasoned, relentlessly logical, and engaged with a broad range of conversation partners. Sophisticated yet accessible to the interested nonspecialist, it moves the discussion forward on a number of key points.

Larmer’s philosophical work manifests two rare qualities. First, crystal clarity: he expresses difficult concepts in a way that almost everyone can understand, avoiding needless, pedantic jargon. Second genuine fairness: he presents alternative viewpoints in their best possible light, never setting up ‘straw men’ to knock down. Both of these admirable qualities are on full display in this present volume.

Robert Larmer writes with consummate skill on the controversial and elusive concept of miracle
