Miracles: How God Intervenes in Nature and Human Affairs
“The central miracle asserted by Christians is the Incarnation.
They say that God became man.
Every other miracle prepares for this, or exhibits this, or results from this.”
“The fitness, and therefore credibility, of the particular miracles depends on their relation to the Grand Miracle; all discuss of them in isolation from it is futile.”
“And when you turn from the New Testament to modern scholars, remember that you go as sheep among wolves.”
“All prayers are heard, though not all prayers are granted.”
“When the event your prayed for occurs, your prayer has always contributed to it.”
