Do miracles really happen? Can we know if the supernatural world exists?
“The central miracle asserted by Christians is the Incarnation. They say that God became Man. Every other miracle prepares the way for this, or results from this.” This is the key statement of
Miracles, in which C. S. Lewis shows that a Christian must not only accept but rejoice in miracles as a testimony of the unique personal involvement of God in His creation.
Using his characteristic lucidity and wit to develop his argument, Lewis challenges the rationalists, agnostics, and deists on their own grounds. He makes an impressive case for the irrationality
of their assumptions by positing: “Those who assume that miracles cannot happen are merely wasting their time by looking into the texts. We know in advance what results they will find for
they have begun by begging the question.”

Editorial Reviews
“The erudite Miracles deftly develops the thesis of Christian beliefs and determinably counters nonbelievers. Whitfield’s authoritative delivery cushions the credence of miracles.” —Booklist
“[A] brilliant book, abounding in lucid exposition and illuminating metaphor.” —Observer
Clive Staples Lewis (1898–1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably the most influential Christian writer of his day. He was a
fellow and tutor in English literature at Oxford University until 1954, when he was unanimously elected to the chair of Medieval and Renaissance English at Cambridge University, a position he held
until his retirement. His major contributions to literary criticism, children’s literature, fantasy literature, and popular theology brought him international renown and acclaim. Lewis wrote more
than thirty books, allowing him to reach a vast audience, and his works continue to attract thousands of new readers every year. His most distinguished and popular accomplishments include the
Chronicles of Narnia, Out of the Silent Planet, The Four Loves, The Screwtape Letters, and Mere
Christianity.
