Miracles and the Modern Religious Imagination

Notes: "In this exciting and important study of the Anglo-American religious world in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, [the author] examines debates about miracles, faith healing, and the relationship of the supernatural to the natural during a critical period of intellectual transition. Although this era (1850-1930) has often been viewed as a time when advances in scientific knowledge undermined the credibility of miracles, Mullin argues that what is most remarkable about the period was the increasing curiosity about miracles and the miraculous displayed by learned theologians and ordinary people alike".
