Miracles: An Argument and a Challenge (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Miracles: An Argument and a Challenge

Horace Bushnell and Edward Irving. Indeed, I doubt whether they are absent from the works of any considerable member of the broader school of theology, from the time of Coleridge down to the present day. And, finally, this argument has been woven into a treatise of extraordinary force by William Arthur, m.a., which has appeared since these Articles were published. It is called the Fernley Lecture for 1883 (london: T. Woolmer) its theme is T lie Difl'erence between P/zysical and M oral L aw, and in developing his theme, Mr. Arthur meets, and in my judgment triumphantly refutes, the sceptical or infidel arguments of Comte, Herbert Spencer, John Stuart Mill and George Henry Lewes. If young men, perplext by doubt, will but study this elaborate and masterly treatise as carefully as it deserves, they will soon beat their music out.
