TRADITION VS SCHOLARSHIP

"With enough good witnesses, a historian, working as a historian, can show that a miracle probably happened." Agree or disagree?

The answer

Disagree. The study of history can only say what probably happened, and on the usual argument a miracle is the least probable of events. So history, as a method, can neither affirm a miracle nor deny one.

Why it’s interesting

The limit binds scholars of every faith and of none. Those who believe a miracle happened hold that belief as believers, not as historians.

Genuinely debated

Learn the Bible.

Not just the stories, but the history, authorship, and scholarship behind it.
