Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Present Controversy on the Gospel Miracles The problem of miracles is undoubtedly the problem of to-day. During the last two years the question has reached an acute stage in the Church of England. To begin with the Middlesbro´ Congress of 1912. There the two protagonists in the recent controversy, Bishop Gore and Professor Sanday, read papers in which their subsequent positions were, to some extent, foreshadowed. The Bishop laid stress upon the fact that the one great obstacle to the reconciliation of contemporary intellect with the faith was miracles. The intellectual motive for the widespread, present-day disbelief in miracle he found in the dominance of a certain philosophical or scientific conception of the world. That conception is, of a closed system of physical sequences not to be invaded by any event the system cannot explain. But even scientific men, as the Bishop pointed out, regard that conception of nature as "an abstraction practically valid for purposes of science, but never intellectually valid if it claims to be complete." He held it to be quite possible for the Christian belief to be perfectly at home with this conception of nature, provided it be not regarded as exclusive or exhaustive. The purport of the address was an appeal to men of science to get over their presuppositions, their prejudices against miracle, and to enlarge their views of the order of nature so as to allow room for our Lord´s conception of the Father.
