1948 Miracles by CS Lewis vintage book EARLY PRINTING about Christianity and God's intervention in nature Preliminary Study Geoffrey Bles

A study of the logical possibility of miracles, in which he presents the case that a supernatural world may exist including a benevolent creator. Arthur Robert Peacocke was a British Anglican theologian and biochemist. He is perhaps best known for his attempts to argue rigorously that evolution and Christianity need not be at odds and remains the most well-known theological advocate of theistic evolution as author of the essay "Evolution: The Disguised Friend of Faith? " In one of the five arguments contained in the essay, the Jesus-as-pinnacle-of-human-evolution argument, Peacocke proposed Jesus Christ to be "the consummation of the purposes of God already incompletely manifested in evolving humanity." Lewis made the same proposition in Mere Christianity, and began to develop his thoughts on the subject in the present volume which was apparently highly influential in Peacocke's development and was attained by him as a student at Oxford. In Miracles: A Preliminary Study, Lewis argues that before one can learn from the study of history whether or not any miracles have ever occurred, one must first settle the philosophical question of whether it is logically possible that miracles can occur in principle.
