Counterfeit Miracles: A History of Fake Miracles and Healings in the Christian and Catholic Traditions, with Arguments in Favor of Cessationism

Om Counterfeit Miracles: A History of Fake Miracles and Healings in the Christian and Catholic Traditions, with Arguments in Favor of Cessationism

Benjamin Warfield chronicles and explains the false and discredited miracles performed since the Middle Ages, and puts forth cessationism as an explanation for the miracles described in the Bible. A committed believer in the power of Christ, Benjamin Warfield strongly disagreed with aspects of modern Christianity on the nature and credibility of miracles. Familiar with a vast array of examples from over the past thousand years, Warfield shows how many miracles were exposed as falsehoods. The rejection of miracles is, for the author, part of his Protestant identity: the Catholic notion that miracles may still occur, is falsehood and superstition. For the author, miracles appeared and belonged solely in the Revelatory Period - the ancient time in which Jesus lived and preached his principles to followers. Their appearance is not frequent or spontaneous, and is always justified by a series of prefacing events. Their origin is with God and God alone, and each carries a decisive explanation.
