"Miracle & Its Philosophical Presuppositions" provides a profound examination of the intellectual and metaphysical foundations required to understand the concept of a miracle. Written by Frederick Robert Tennant, this work navigates the complex intersection of science, philosophy, and theology to explore how the supernatural is conceptualized within a world governed by natural law. The text investigates the specific logical presuppositions that allow for the possibility of miraculous occurrences, challenging the reader to consider the epistemological requirements of faith.

Throughout the volume, Tennant addresses the tensions between rational inquiry and religious belief, offering a rigorous analysis of how miracles are defined and defended. By examining various philosophical systems, the work sheds light on the internal consistency of religious worldviews and their relationship to empirical reality. "Miracle & Its Philosophical Presuppositions" stands as a significant contribution to the philosophy of religion, providing a scholarly and timeless exploration of one of theology's most enduring questions. This work is an invaluable resource for students of religious thought, historical theology, and the history of ideas.

Theism and Atheism: Opposing Arguments in Philosophy
<p><em>Theism and Atheism: Opposing Arguments in Philosophy</em> is a peer-reviewed, academic volume that has two separate editors in chief, with their respective editorial boards. The atheism side is led by Graham Oppy (Australian philosopher, Monash University). The theism side is led by Joseph Koterski, S.J. (American philosopher, Fordham University) and includes Christian, Jewish, and Muslim philosophers. <p/><br>The two editorial boards worked together to identify twenty key topics in philosophical debates regarding arguments for and against the existence of God (e.g., Religious Experience, Miracles, Our Universe, Human Beings, Science, Religious Diversity, etc.). The single volume is composed of forty total chapters. The format is such that an author taking the side of theism composes a chapter on a topic, followed by an atheism author covering the same topic (e.g., Miracles: Theism followed by Miracles: Atheism).<br> <p/>The title presents complex philosophical counter perspectives in a lucid manner. It grapples with issues that have occupied philosophers for more than two millennia. These include the sufficiency/insufficiency of an empirical explanation for the existence of the universe&#x3b; the capacity/incapacity of the empirical sciences to draw conclusions about a possible infinite being&#x3b; the validity/invalidity of philosophical arguments regarding the existence of an infinite being&#x3b; various notions of infinity&#x3b; the problem of evil, and so on. </p>
