Miracles: Works Above and Contrary to Nature

By Thomas Browne

Book Overview

Miracles: Works Above and Contrary to Nature is a book written by Thomas Browne, a 17th-century English physician and philosopher. The book is a theological and philosophical exploration of the concept of miracles, which are defined as supernatural events that are believed to be the result of divine intervention. Browne examines the nature of miracles, their purpose, and their relationship to natural laws. He also discusses the various types of miracles, including those that are performed by God, those that are performed by humans through divine inspiration, and those that are performed by demons or other supernatural beings. Throughout the book, Browne draws on a range of sources, including the Bible, classical philosophy, and contemporary scientific knowledge, to provide a comprehensive and thought-provoking analysis of the concept of miracles. Miracles: Works Above and Contrary to Nature is a seminal work in the history of philosophy and theology and remains relevant to contemporary discussions of religion, science, and the supernatural.1683. This work is an answer to a late translation out of Spinoza's Tractatus Theologico-Politicus, Mr. Hobbs' Leviathan, etc. published to undermine the truth and authority of miracles, scripture and religion in a treatise entitled Miracles no Violation of the Laws of Nature.
