Six Discourses on the Miracles of Our Saviour, and Defences of His Discourses

"Six Discourses on the Miracles of Our Saviour, and Defences of His Discourses" is a thought-provoking work by Thomas Woolston, an early 18th-century theologian and writer. In this book, Woolston embarks on a bold examination of the miracles attributed to Jesus Christ, seeking to intertwine reason and faith. He argues that the miraculous events in the Gospels should be treated with critical scrutiny, advocating for a rational understanding of the biblical texts. Woolston's discourses challenge traditional Christian perspectives, positing that many miracles can be interpreted metaphorically rather than literally. His defense of these ideas sparked significant controversy and debate within the religious community, marking him as a critical figure in the discourse on faith and reason during his time. While Woolston's work is often seen as controversial, it remains an important exploration of early modern theological thought, calling readers to engage deeply with the complexities of belief in the supernatural.
