Note 27 — IV
Reading edition
"Early and mediæval theologians agree in conceiving the miraculous as being above, not contrary to, nature. The question entered on a new phase when Hume defined a miracle as a violation of nature, and asserted the impossibility of substantiating its actual occurrence. The modern discussion has proceeded largely in view of Hume's destructive criticism. Assuming the possibility of a miracle, the questions of fact and of definition remain."—Dictionary of Psychology.
"When we find the definition for which we are searching, the miraculous will no longer be a problem."—Professor W. Sanday, at the Anglican Church Congress, 1902.
