In Miracles, David L. Weddle examines how five religious traditions-Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam-understand miracles, considering how they express popular enthusiasm for wondrous tales, how they provoke official regulation because of their potential to disrupt authority, and how they are denied by critics within each tradition who regard belief in miracles as an illusory distraction from moral responsibility.In dynamic and accessible prose, Weddle shows us what miracles are, what they mean, and why, despite overwhelming scientific evidence, they are still significant today: belief in miracles sustains the hope that, if there is a reality that surpasses our ordinary lives, it is capable of exercising-from time to time-creative, liberating, enlightening, and healing power in our world. 001480185 538__ $$aMode of access: Internet via World Wide Web. 001480185 546__ $$aIn English. 001480185 5880_ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher's Web site, viewed 18.
